There are people at Zeng Zhengwei's house, several men, a middle-aged man among them walked to the hedge after seeing Cheng Jin and the others, "How are you?"

Cheng Jin handed over the certificate, "Some investigation."

The middle-aged man frowned and took the certificate, "Investigation?"

Cheng Jin smiled, "You don't know that there is an investigation? Do you need to call to confirm or something? It's getting late now, if you can, can you make it easier for us to finish it earlier?"

"Do you know that you will sound like a very incompetent public official when you talk like this?" The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, then lowered his eyes to look at the ID in his hand, "Special case investigation team of the Ministry of Public Security, Cheng Jin? Okay , I remember you." He tilted his head, "Please come in."

Cheng Jin pulled Yang Simi around the hedge and walked into the yard. The middle-aged man could see them clearly now. He glanced at Cheng Jin and Yang Simi's hands suspiciously and disapprovingly, "When you are in someone else's house You must at least act dignified, even if it’s a faux pas.”

Cheng Jin kept smiling, and he was a little helpless, Yang Simi refused to let go, what could he do?

Yang Simi said: "You can also be polite, even if it's just pretending. In fact, the most sensible thing to do is to pretend that you didn't see anything. Cheng Jin, what are we here for? It's definitely not here to be inexplicable chatting with people."

Cheng Jin smiled apologetically at the middle-aged man, "Yes, it's working time now, sir, can you show us this house?"

The middle-aged man frowned and looked at Cheng Jin, "My surname is Tian." He turned and walked towards the entrance of the house.

His surname is Tian, ​​he is the husband of Zeng Zhengwei's sister. Cheng Jin remembers that this person is also an important leader of another state-owned enterprise.

Several other young men also came to the corridor outside the living room, and Cheng Jin knew one of them. He nodded at the man, "Hello, we meet again."

The middle-aged man surnamed Tian looked at the young man, "Do you know each other?"

The young man didn't seem to know what to say, Cheng Jin helped and said, "I had the honor to meet Miss Tian once, and this gentleman was there at the time."

Mr. Tian looked at Cheng Jin and Yang Simi again, and then walked into the door of the house without saying anything, Cheng Jin dragged Yang Simi to follow.

After entering the door, Cheng Jin could see that things were being packed inside, a lot of cardboard boxes, and a lot of messy items. It seemed that the place was being moved, so he glanced roughly, "Mrs. Zeng's wife hasn't returned to China?"

Mr. Tian simply said: "She is not in good health." It seems that this is a very reasonable reason.

Yang Simi looked up at the crystal chandelier, "He was..." Cheng Jin immediately covered his mouth, he knew Yang Simi was going to say that Zeng Zhengwei was hanging on this lamp, but It's really inappropriate to say that now.Cheng Jin's palm was licked by something warm, and he immediately withdrew his hand as if he had been scalded. Without looking at other people's expressions, he calmly pulled Yang Simi upstairs, "Let's go upstairs first and have a look. .”

There are four rooms upstairs. The first room should be a study room. Fortunately, things haven't been boxed yet, so it looks more convenient.

"You blushed just now." Yang Simi laughed softly.

Cheng Jin turned his head to look at Yang Simi, shook his head helplessly and smiled, "I think I'm still blushing now." He pushed Yang Simi to sit down on a pulley chair, and Yang Simi looked up at him , he pushed the chair to the bookshelf, "Look at what books the master here likes to read."

Yang Simi seemed a little disappointed, "That's it?"

Cheng Jin laughed, "Really pay attention to the occasion." He bent down and touched Yang Simi's forehead with his lips, "I'll go to the next door and see, I'll be back soon."

Cheng Jin turned to leave, but saw Mr. Tian standing by the door. Cheng Jin heard someone going upstairs, but this Mr. Tian had no habit of consciously avoiding certain special situations.Cheng Jin smiled at him, then turned around and looked at the opposite room, which was the bedroom.

Mr. Tian also followed in. He said blankly: "I also know some people from the Ministry of Public Security. I have never heard of two people like you."

Cheng Jin said: "I seldom deal with the headquarters, but I have seen people from various public security bureaus. If you are interested..."

Mr. Tian said decisively: "I'm not interested, but your work attitude is very bad." He was very annoyed, what's going on with the young people nowadays? "If my subordinates are like you, I will fire them immediately."

The person you met for the first time taught you so tirelessly, Cheng Jin didn't know what expression to make, his work attitude today is really substandard?He opened the cabinet, looked through all the clothes, and opened every drawer to check, he looked around and said: "You are right, he is a bit distracting occasionally, but... it's all my fault."

Probably Cheng Jin's words were too perfunctory, Mr. Tian said sharply: "It distracts you a lot! Why do you guys still work together like this?"

Cheng Jin was a little surprised. It seemed that he had thoroughly annoyed Mr. Tian. He stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Mr. Tian, ​​"Well, what I said just now can only be regarded as a joke. We have our own working methods. , it can be said that we are invincible partners.”

Mr. Tian doubted: "Is this also a joke?" His voice became less rigid due to doubts.

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "A little bit." He turned around and continued his work, "Actually, what I really wanted to say was another joke, but I was afraid you would be overwhelmed, so I changed it to this."

Mr. Tian frowned, "What are you talking about? Let's hear it."

Cheng Jin turned around again, he laughed and said, "Because I depended on him to get this job, so I have to...sorry?" Seeing that Mr. Tian's face had changed, he stopped.

Mr. Tian sat down on a chair, looking very composed, "Then let's have a chat. Are you implying that I owe it to my wife to get to where I am today?"

Cheng Jin also pulled a chair and sat down, "Of course not, I think you are because of love, just like us." He looked at the open door opposite.

Mr. Tian was choked for a while and couldn't speak, "You, you two men..." You two men, it's not because of love that you can't do it, who would be full and have nothing to do, and do this kind of self-destructive future thing?He waved his hand in frustration, "I've never seen a young man like you." He sighed, "You must have some questions to ask me, so hurry up and ask them now."

Cheng Jin said: "Then I'll take the liberty to ask, is Miss Tian okay?"

There was a trace of surprise in Mr. Tian's eyes, and he said defensively, "She's fine."

Cheng Jin smiled and said, "That's good. Then you came here today to take away all of Mr. Zeng's personal belongings?"

Mr. Tian said: "I was told to come here today - to come here instead of my wife. She was too sad to come here in person. She entrusted me to pack up her brother's things and take them back. She didn't give me a clear notice The content, now it seems, is because you are coming here today, so let me come over to receive you."

"Excuse me." Cheng Jin said, "Tell me about Zeng Zong."

Mr. Tian looked at Cheng Jin suspiciously, "You know I'm related to him, what do you want me to say?"

Cheng Jin said: "Whatever, maybe your wife knows her brother better, but I'm worried that when I go to your house, Ms. Tian will be embarrassed when she sees me, so I hope Mr. Tian can provide you with the information we need as much as possible. How is Mr. Zeng?"

Mr. Tian glared at Cheng Jin for a few seconds, "I don't know how his physical condition is. I haven't heard of any serious problems. Besides, he pays great attention to health maintenance, and he has been well maintained."

Cheng Jindao: "By health preservation, do you mean liking food therapy and medicinal diet, or do you like Buddhism and Taoism's kind of self-cultivation and health cultivation?"

Mr. Tian nodded, "Yes, self-cultivation. He was originally a very impatient person, but after he became a Buddhist, his temper became much better. Sometimes he looks a bit disillusioned."

Cheng Jin said: "Didn't you see through the world of mortals to the point of committing suicide?"

Mr. Tian was startled, "No, he has a wife and children..." Although his wife and children didn't come back even after he died. "He asked Tian Fei to work at his place, the kind of intern. If he had suicidal thoughts, why would he tell Tian Fei like that? He has always been very kind to Tian Fei. It can be said that he is obedient and obedient. She is my daughter , and ended up being spoiled by him."

Cheng Jin said, "That means you don't think Zeng always committed suicide?"

Mr. Tian said: "I don't know what's going on, but how many relatives can accept this result? My wife has been in the hospital for the past few days because of her grief."

Cheng Jin said: "How is Mr. Zeng's family situation?"

Mr. Tian simply said: "Both the husband and wife are impatient."

That is to say, the relationship is very bad. Mr. Zeng and his wife have been abroad and haven't come back this year.

Cheng Jin said, "Does he have any other...girlfriends?"

Mr. Tian said: "I don't know. He didn't mention it."

Cheng Jin said: "He lives here alone, this house is a bit big for one person, does he have hourly workers or something?"

Mr. Tian said: "Yes, my nanny will come over twice a week and ask him to do the cleaning, but only when he is away."

Cheng Jin said: "Has he encountered any trouble at work recently?"

Mr. Tian said: "No, he has always been handy. You want to prove that he committed suicide?"

Cheng Jin said, "I just want to find out the cause of his death."

Mr. Tian nodded.

"Do you mind if I continue?" Cheng Jin got up and continued to search the room.

Mr. Tian said: "What are you looking for?"

"Everything suspicious?" Cheng Jin put a very simple sachet hanging by the bed into a sealed bag, then rolled up a book by the bed and stuffed it into his pocket.

Mr. Tian said: "That sachet has the effect of calming the nerves. My daughter bought it, and she also gave me one."

"Oh." Cheng Jin put away the bag, "I'll go to the next door to see, are you coming?"

The room next door was also fully furnished but had nothing in the wardrobe and drawers, as did the room opposite.

Cheng Jin returned to the study room. The carpet in the study room was full of books, which should have been thrown on the ground by Yang Simi after flipping through them.

Mr. Tian was very distressed, "Don't you know that some of the books here are rare?"

Cheng Jin saw some uncommon books on the sofa by the window, "Are those rare books you are talking about?"

Mr. Tian, ​​who was searching on the ground, immediately looked up and took a closer look. It was them. He picked up one of them and stroked the leather cover, "Well, it's them."

"What rare book?" Cheng Jin walked behind Yang Simi and helped him massage his shoulders and neck.

Yang Simi said: "It's nothing, it's all fancy things from abroad. It's tens of thousands of dollars a copy, I don't know if it's a bribe."

Mr. Tian said: "He can afford a book at this price."

What else did Yang Simi say, Cheng Jin smiled and said, "What, Simi, which books on this shelf have you ever read?"

Yang Simi said: "He has read all martial arts books, there are dozens of them here; philosophy books, if books like Houheixue are considered philosophy books, he has read two dozen; he has read a lot of inspirational books; He also read a lot of books."

Cheng Jin took out the book in his pocket and put it in front of Yang Simi, "His bedside book."

This is a book that is very worn due to frequent reading. The title of the book is "Pure Heart". On the cover is a middle-aged man with a fairy-tale demeanor in traditional clothes. He is the author of this book.

Cheng Jin said: "A pure heart with few desires?"

Yang Simi opened the cover and browsed the content, "It's a book of popular psychology, teaching people how to obey and control their desires."

Cheng Jin said: "I thought it was a metaphysics book."

Yang Simi said: "Metaphysics, philosophy, and psychology all have something in common, or they overlap..."

Cheng Jin gently squeezed Yang Simi's shoulder, "Okay, don't tell me this now."

Yang Simi casually threw the book in his hand to the ground, and the corner of his mouth slightly curved, "Okay, I'll tell you tonight, it has a hypnotic effect."

"Cough!..." Mr. Tian stood aside holding those thick rare books and looked at them.

"You're annoying." Yang Simi turned his head, Cheng Jin wanted to stop him, "Simi..." Yang Simi insisted on continuing, "I don't know if my dad would be like you if he was still alive."

Mr. Tian was stunned.

Yang Simi looked up at Cheng Jin again, "Or your father?"

Cheng Jin smiled, "Very likely."

After Mr. Tian came to his senses, he looked at Cheng Jin and Yang Simi sympathetically... Later, when they left, he even gave Cheng Jin his business card, "You can call me if you have anything to do."

Cheng Jin thought that a person like Mr. Tian didn't print his business card at all, and he hadn't been sympathized with for a long time. He felt a little complicated, but he still said solemnly: "Okay, thank you."
