"Since Boss Qiu said so, I'm looking forward to your West Lake Dragon Well Tea." Minglian smiled and chatted with the other side for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Jiang Jiao said dryly, "Ming Lian, who called just now?"

"Take these things back." Minglian handed over the ID bag and car keys in his hand, "As for who called, that's my business, I don't think I have to explain to you."

Jiang Jiao quickly explained, "I didn't want to ask you for anything, because the people outside are sinister, and I'm afraid you will be deceived."

Ming Lian suddenly snorted softly, he was born to be pretty, usually he smiled gently, so he was completely non-aggressive.

But now, this gorgeousness is like a rose with thorns, and also like the other shore flower blooming on the bank of the Santu River, extremely aggressive and untouchable.

"Whether others lied to me or not, I don't know, I only know that the person next to my pillow has lied to me for many years." Ming Lian, who just came out of the boxing gym, now wants to take Jiang Jiao back.

Another beat.

No, two beatings are required!

Jiang Jiao's lips trembled slightly, "Minglian, I, I..."

All the words were choked in his throat, as if the words had become small stones, blocking the trachea, making his breathing gradually short, as if he was a person lacking oxygen.

Jiang Jiao's brain froze, his mind was full of——

One step late.

His confession was one step too late!

Originally, he planned to confess after the divorce, at this new beginning compared to Minglian.

Tell him that I have liked him for a long time, and I started to like him when I was in high school.

Tell him that in the past few years, he has been pretending to be smart and cold, but he really doesn't love him.

I don't expect to be forgiven, at least it is a sincerity, and I hope the other party can see my changes.

But now, Jiang Jiao was in a panic.

Minglian already knew.

Then even if he confesses, everything will become a joke.

"...You got it?" There was a lot to say, but Jiang Jiao could only speak out in the end.

Minglian curled his lips with a half-smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Of course I know, and luckily I know."

After saying this, Ming walked outside without even looking back.

You can get a taxi when you go out here.

Jiang Jiao stared blankly at Minglian's back.

If "Boss Qiu" called just now, it made Jiang Jiao feel curious like a cat.

So now, the cat that suddenly changed its face suddenly popped out its sharp claws, and slammed down with its claws, leaving five deep scratches.

Jiang Jiao's face turned pale from the pain.

The tall man stood still, the autumn wind blew past his pale face, and his chapped lips moved.

An apology dissipated in the wind.

Before going to Qingshan Teahouse, Ming Lian went to buy some things first, and then went there.

It is autumn now, and the autumn sun is very warm, like the palm of a mother gently stroking the ends of her hair, making people squint comfortably.

After a while, Minglian came to Qingshan Tea House again, it was still the same here, with its own indifference in the hustle and bustle of the world.

Tranquil, gentle, let the mind relax like soaking in a hot spring.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or Daju himself likes to bask in the sun at the door. Minglian saw Daju at the door again this time.

The 20-pound orange cat collapsed on the ground, as if it had turned into a puddle of liquid.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Daju's fluffy ears moved, and his eyes slowly opened a little.

I don't know what it saw, but the original small cracks suddenly turned into big cracks.

With a swish, Daju got up from the ground, his tail stood up high happily, like a telegraph pole.

There was still a gurgling sound in his throat.

Daju came over and rubbed against Minglian's feet, and after a few squeaks, he cast his eyes on the bag Minglian was carrying.

Suddenly he straightened up, wanting to scratch with his front paws.

Seeing this, Minglian immediately lifted the bag a little higher, "This can only be eaten after your master distributes it."

Daju meowed in dissatisfaction.

"Why did you bring something?" Qiu Xun came out from inside, holding a few jacarandas in his hand.

Flowers reflect people, and the temperament of the owner of the teahouse is exactly the same as that of the teahouse.

Minglian smiled, "I happened to pass by a pet store when I came here, and I remembered that you said he likes dried yellow croaker fish, so I bought some."

Qiu Xun sighed with a smile, "You are so kind to my family, I really can't justify it if I don't do my best to help you."

"Then I would like to thank Boss Qiu first." Ming Lian stroked Mao Mao's head.

Daju looked at the food, and stood up with his tiny little jiojio, which was pitifully thin compared to his body, with one front paw draping Minglian's trousers, and the other to pick up the bag.

"Give it to me, I have to hide these dried fish, it is too fat, it needs to control its diet." Qiu Xun took advantage of the big orange still sticking to Minglian's body.

Minglian handed over the bag of dried fish, and Qiu Xun took the things and immediately went into the house.

Daju, who was still standing upright, tilted his head, glanced at Minglian, and then at the direction where Qiu Xun left.

After hesitating for a while, Daju finally decided to put this good-looking two-legged monster aside and go after his little dried fish.

But it's too late.

When the door was opened again, the excrement shovel officer no longer had a bag of dried fish.

"Meow meow!!" Daju was anxious and angry, and put down his tail that was originally raised high.

A top-quality cat and cat punch was dispatched.

Qiu Xun led the way with a smile, "This way, please."

The tea room they went to this time was not the one last time, but it had a better view than the last time.

Open the window, and you can see a small pond with a wooden bridge on it.

There was a wind blowing, and the dead leaves brought by the wind fluttered and fell on the pond, causing the koi in the pond to scramble to kiss and kiss the fallen leaves.

"This is this year's West Lake Longjing. Try it. It was delivered not long ago. When I got it, I was the first to think of you. I always feel that you are a person who understands tea." Qiu Xun skillfully brewed tea.

Minglian laughed and said, "Boss Qiu is flattering me too much."

Finally gave up looking for the big orange with dried small fish, and walked in with his tail upright.

It had a clear goal, and walked directly to Minglian's stool, exerting force with its four claws.

Jump! !

Having had the painful experience of being boxed by a heavy cat, Minglian reacted very quickly this time.

He took the big orange to his chest and stroked his hair.

"I started with Wang Cuili, and I did find some very interesting things. 19 years ago, her family became rich overnight. For this, their family said that they were lucky and won the lottery. But I checked, and the Honghu City didn’t offer high-value lotteries at all,” Qiu Xun said.

Obviously, the lottery is just an excuse.

"After having money, Wang Cuili changed schools for his twin sons, from a public school to an aristocratic school." Qiu Xun poured the brewed tea into a teacup.

Minglian's eyes dimmed slightly.

As he expected, Wang Cuili had a problem.

Qiu Xun: "From elementary school to junior high school and then to high school, the twins have been studying in aristocratic schools. I asked someone about their situation in the school, and they basically spend money like water. But before they transferred schools , this family is struggling."

"When did they transfer to the noble school?" Ming Lian asked

Qiu Xun adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "In the autumn of 19 years ago, September No. 19. After September, the primary school has started, and the registration has already ended. But for private schools, as long as the money is enough, you can join the class, then Not a problem."

Minglian knew what Qiu Xun meant.

The essence of private schools is to make money.

There is only one way to open the closed doors of private schools—

Throw money.

Knock on the door with lots and lots of money, enough for him to break the rules.

"When my mother's car accident happened, it was autumn." Minglian recalled the time on the tombstone.

The time is right.

Qiu Xun slowly said: "They moved once 15 years ago, and again three years later. After the two moves, the neighbors of Wang Cuili's family basically changed to a new batch."

Minglian picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.

After the two moves, not many people should know the original situation of this family unless they are willing to investigate.

"How is the situation in Wang Cuili's original family?" Minglian asked.

Qiu Xun: "Wang Cuili's family has four children. She is the second eldest in the family. She has an older sister, a younger sister and a younger brother. The younger brother is the youngest in the family. In order to have a son, his parents even aborted two female fetuses. "

"In the same year that Wang Cuili's twins were transferred to aristocratic schools, Wang Cuili's original family became rich. Her family had a feudal ideology and was extremely patriarchal. Wang Cuili's younger brother has grown crooked under the doting of his parents." Qiu Xun said .

Minglian keenly captured a point of information, "Look crooked? Did you commit a crime?"

Qiu Xun smiled, with admiration in his eyes, "Yes, Wang Cuili's younger brother, Wang Yaozu, is 41 this year. 17 years ago, he ran into and killed a pregnant woman on the way back to the village. The environment back then was not as good as it is now, and someone shot him Settle it down, this matter will be settled in the end."

Minglian narrowed his eyes slightly.

17 years ago?

At the time when Wang Yaozu killed someone, the Wang family was already rich.

Qiu Xun said: "To this day, only some old people in the village still remember this incident. There was no trouble before because Wang Yaozu was not punished for hitting someone to death not long ago. Later, Wang's family moved, and this incident did not have much to do with him. Contact, so it is only occasionally used to talk about it, and it is even slowly forgotten.”

Of course it was a sensation in a small place, but Wang Yaozu is fine.

This is natural. Some people think that the Wang family has a big background, so no one dares to make trouble.

Minglian Yingbai tapped the table twice with her fingertips, "Can this matter be rediscovered? Find the pregnant woman's family and rediscover this matter. Since Wang Cuili's family favors sons over daughters, once this matter is discovered, even Wang Cuili doesn't want to control her younger brother, and her parents won't agree either."

What ability does Wang Cuili have, why don't she have to ask Nie Xun?

As long as the Nie family is brought in again, it will be easy.

"It is illegal to check the bank statement privately now, but it will be different if an agency intervenes. At that time, the direction of the investigation will be appropriately diverted to 19 years ago, and the anonymous report to the Wang family not only harmed a pregnant woman."

At that time, were you afraid that you would not find out that Nie Xun had sent money to Wang Cuili?

After a pause, Minglian continued: "It doesn't matter if Nie Xun refuses to act, let's see if I can turn Wang Cuili into a tainted witness."

All those who have harmed others need atonement.

Use the rest of your life, or use your own life to make atonement!

Qiu Xun leaned back and smiled helplessly, "Minglian, I think the [-]% discount is too much, and the most you can charge is [-]%."

Many guests came to him, not only asked him to help with the investigation, but also asked him to help with suggestions.

Now, no need at all.

Their thinking is very clear, almost all the methods have been thought out for you, and you can do it according to it.

Minglian picked up the small teacup and raised it, "Anyway, it's hard work, Boss Qiu, and thank you for West Lake Longjing."

As soon as Minglian finished speaking, Daju nestled in his arms meowed, as if accepting the "hard work".

Although Daju didn't do anything, he got a pack of dried yellow flower fish for nothing.

But Daju thinks it can.

Minglian touched the cat's head, and pushed the big orange out of its orange-white belly.

"One more thing. Since high school, Nie Xun's relationship between men and women has been particularly chaotic. In her sophomore year, a young master of the Li family fell in love with her. Nie Xun had to get rid of her bad habits, and the two lived together. In fact, they didn't change. No way, because the Li family hadn't collapsed at that time and was much more powerful than the Nie family, so her father wanted to pack up and send her daughter up there." Qiu Xun said.

Minglian's eyes moved slightly, "What happened next?"

Qiu Xun: "The two lived together until something happened to the Li family, and then the Li family collapsed. Nie Xun kicked him off."

Ming Lian was thoughtful, "How many years ago did she kick him off?"

Qiu Xun: "19 years ago."

Minglian rubbed the ear of the teacup for a moment, "Is there any connection between them later?"

Qiu Xun nodded, "Yes."

Qiu Xun took out three photos and a blank sheet of paper from the file bag beside him, "Look at it."

three photos.

One is clear, and the other two can be seen to be the same man, but divided into early 20s and 50s.

Putting the three photos side by side, Qiu Xun picked up the long white paper and put it on top.

Cover the upper part of the nose in the three photos, only revealing a mouth and chin.

so similar.

At least [-]% similar.

Minglian's pupils tightened slightly.

"It's very similar, isn't it? When they ended their cohabitation, they just ended their cohabitation. The Li family used to be a big family. Although they fell down, they couldn't be wiped out in an instant." Qiu Xun said slowly.

Ming Lian narrowed his eyes.

My mother was in a car accident 19 years ago.

18 years ago, Nie Xun broke up with the old man for a marriage certificate.

And the time when Nie Xun became pregnant with Qingming was half a year before she and the old man argued, and half a year after she separated from the young master of the Li family.

This timeline is interesting.

Minglang's surname may be Li or Ming, but looking at the photos, Minglian thinks the former is much more likely.

If it was as he guessed, Nie Xun played quite boldly.

"I got the hair of the two of them for comparison yesterday. The result will be out in five working days. I will let you know when the time comes." Qiu Xun adjusted his glasses.

Minglian nodded.

That's right, then he doesn't have to make a trip.

"I really appreciate Boss Qiu, Boss Qiu's work efficiency is really high." Minglian thanked.

Qiu Xun laughed, and after Minglian's compliment, he turned to say, "How about having dinner together tonight?"

Generally speaking, in his line of work, he should not have too close contact with customers.

Clearing money and goods is the best.

The transaction is over, and there will be no further contact.

But for Minglian, Qiu Xun really wanted to make friends.

I really want to.

I really want to.

It is very comfortable to be friends with him, as Jiang Lin said at the beginning, he is a very good person.

Just as Minglian was about to say yes, the phone rang.

After a phone call, Minglian turned his eyes to look at Qiu Xun, "Wait for that dinner, Boss Qiu, would you mind adding Jiang Lin?"

"Of course not, it's just a good time to get together with him." Qiu Xun agreed.

The sky was dim, and this bustling city was called by the time to turn on the lights one after another.

At this meal time, the major food and beverage stores are doing business briskly, and there are endless diners.

Some are young couples dating, some are inviting a large group of friends to have fun together, and some are brothers coming out for a dinner.

Dinner will be at Shiyuxuan, which is not far from Qingshan Tea House.Minglian didn't drive when he came to look for Qiu Xun, so now he went to eat in Qiu Xun's car.

It so happened that the three of them met in the parking lot of Shiyuxuan.

Seeing Minglian getting off Qiu Xun's car, Jiang Lin raised his sword eyebrows, slammed the car door behind him, and strode over with his long legs.

"You and Lao Qiu seem to have a good relationship." Jiang Lin came over and stretched his arms, put them on Minglian's shoulders, and took advantage of his height to hook him onto his shoulders.

Ming Lian pushed his hand away, "Why, you want to go back to the school days when you were in control overnight?"

When he was in junior high school, Jiang Lin, who wanted to dominate the campus all day long, especially liked to hang shoulders with Minglian.

He once threatened that this was a way of proving loyalty.

After entering university, the two separated. I don't know if it was because they had matured or if their relationship was a little distant. Jiang Lin never did that kind of behavior again.

Jiang Lin smiled, "It's okay to miss the past once in a while, let's go in."

I booked a private room before coming here, so even if Shiyuxuan's business is booming, the three of them have a place.

After ordering, Jiang Lin looked at Qiu Xun, "Old Qiu, let me recommend you a guest."

The three of them sat at a small round table, not too far away from each other. Jiang Lin, who was asking the question, put his hand on the back of Minglian's chair.

Qiu Xun pushed up his glasses, "He's so nice that there's nothing to say, he even brings dried fish to Ju Zuo when he comes to my place. Ju Zuo likes him more than me now."

Jiang Lin opened his mouth and said, "That is, who is my brother! Good-looking, talented, good-natured, and especially caring. I used to feed a stray cat in high school and wanted to go home with him."

"My client is still here, I'm ashamed of your rainbow fart." Minglian couldn't stand them.

Jiang Lin and Ming Lian separated after college, while Qiu Xun and Jiang Lin were college classmates.

With Jiang Lin as the bridge, and Minglian and Qiu Xun being good talkers, the atmosphere of the meal was very good.

They talked about everything, from the south of the sky to the north of the earth, and then they talked about the things they used to do when they were studying.

Halfway through, Qiu Xun got up to go to the bathroom.

After Qiu Xun left the box, Jiang Lin put down the chopsticks.

He moved the stool to Minglian's side, "Minglian, are you and Jiang Jiao already divorced?"

The meal was only half eaten, and the delicacies on the table were still steaming, with all the flavors and aromas, but this didn't make Jiang Lin take a second look.

Jiang Lin didn't look at it, but Minglian looked at it.

"Dare you just want to ask me this when you called me for dinner?" Ming Lian offered himself another bowl of soup.

The soup here is authentic, with sufficient ingredients and no MSG.

Jiang Lin raised a handsome smile, "You have already posted on Moments, or is that not what divorce means?"

The four characters "New Beginning" are accompanied by a straight arrow.

This is not a divorce what is it?

Ming Lian raised his eyes to look at him, his long and dense eyelashes looked like the wings of a black butterfly had grown in the wrong place, "Aren't you doing nothing, thinking about my circle of friends all day long?"

Jiang Lin sighed, "Isn't it worth it for you? The best years of youth were wasted on that scumbag Jiang Jiao."

The whole university time revolves around one person.

Also after graduation.

From Jiang Lin's point of view, Minglian's life was really aggrieved. He is such an excellent person, he shouldn't be in such a situation.

"You guessed right, I am indeed divorced." Minglian felt that there was no need to hide this from Jiang Lin.

The two were young, and they wore a pair of pants when they were young. When Jiang Lin was chasing someone in high school, he was also the one who helped advise him.

Well, although it didn't work out later.

"Today is such a good day, come, let's have a drink and celebrate your freedom!" Jiang Lin raised the soup bowl in his hand.

Ming Lian smiled and raised his bowl, "Why do you think you are happier than my client?"

Jiang Lin's eyes flickered slightly, "Of course I'm happy for you to escape from the sea of ​​suffering! It is said that the best way to heal emotional injuries is to start a new relationship. How about it, do you have this plan?"
