deep trap
Chapter 21 Regret But he suddenly regretted his decision to stay away from Ji Ming.
After Lao Mao and Zhou Yan left, Lu Can slumped on the sofa like a melted rubber man, his body was extremely exhausted, but his mind was extremely clear.
Among the three of them, Lao Mao had to take care of his sick younger sister, so he couldn't put all his energy on Qin Yuanyuan.Zhou Yan has nothing to worry about, but that guy has a pessimistic and impulsive personality, which might lead to bad things.So no matter how tired and confused he is, the responsibility for investigating the cause of Qin Yuanyuan's death can only be borne by him.
Didn't fall asleep last night, got up too early in the morning and had another fight just now, Lu Can felt pain everywhere, both painful and cold.
He pulled off his coat and put it on his body. He smelled it and thought of Ji Ming again.
After sending him home, Ji Ming helped cook the porridge and left.Still the same as some time ago, I didn't ask him if he needed help, and I never asked him to settle the car repair fee.
Like a rock hanging above your head, you know it will fall, but you don't know when it will fall, so you are always anxious and confused, looking forward to and afraid.
Including today's call, he didn't think about anything at the time, and dialed out by himself.Looking back now, it was not easy for Ji Mingneng to go to the hospital without saying anything.
He is so miserable, the other party should understand his mood, right?
Lu Can involuntarily took out his phone and opened the dialog with Mr. J.When he told Zhou Yan "no need to pick up", he didn't know whether Ji Ming was willing to pick him up or not. After all, from his previous performance, he could feel that he didn't want to keep in touch.
But he suddenly regretted his decision to stay away from Ji Ming.
Whether it's selfish or evil, he only knows that he needs Ji Ming very much recently.You don't need to do anything, just be by your side like you did in the morning.
Lu Can hovered his hand on the screen for a long time, took a deep breath, and typed a few words with great difficulty: 【Tomorrow at twelve noon, do you have time】
After posting, he stared at the chat interface, rehearsing in his mind what to do if Ji Mingze refused.
Fortunately, the other party was not ruthless enough not to reply to the message, Mr. J: [? 】
Lu Can clenched his left hand—what does it mean to send a question mark, questioning the reason for looking for him?Or simply ask?Huo Huo: [I want to go to Xinpu to investigate]
This time, the other party didn't reply for a long time. Lu Can buried his head in his coat, and felt a little dazed and empty in the most familiar environment.
Until the WeChat notification sounded again.
It is a voice of only two seconds.
What can you say in two seconds?Saying no is enough.Lu Can exposed half of his face from his coat, wanted to see but didn't want to, and finally closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and pressed the "play" button.
J: "Okay, I'll be there at 11:30."
After being processed by the electronic equipment, the deeper voice flowed into the ears, and Lu Can's string that had been broken for a whole day finally relaxed.
At twelve noon the next day, outside the office building of Simplo Financial.
A man in a small sheepskin jacket leaned against the pillar, his shoulder-length curly hair was casually pulled behind his head, and the high-quality leather matched his sallow look. He had a kind of prodigal demeanor, which attracted frequent glances from the employees who came in and out.
Not long after, a high-heeled woman came out of the revolving door. She wore a business attire under her overcoat. It looked like she had come out for a lunch break to eat.
The man straightened his clothes, and called her to stop leisurely.The woman was obviously stunned for a moment, and then the man didn't know what to say, she immediately beamed with joy, and the two entered the restaurant next door together talking and laughing.
Four or 10 minutes later, the man sent the woman back to the office building, turned around and walked to the SUV parked in the corner, and leaned over to fix her hair against the passenger glass.
"Stop flirting," Lu Can lowered the car window, "Did you succeed?"
Zhou Yan shook his phone, and there was a reminder that he had successfully added a friend, but his voice was still not very energetic, "Of course."
"OK, find a chance to introduce me to her."
"I'll just say you're my brother and want to know about portfolio products."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yan glanced at the person sitting in the driver's seat out of the corner of his eye, "Hey Xiaocan, this is...?"
Lu Can didn't know how to answer, he would be teased if he was called a friend, and he couldn't say he was a free coolie caught casually, so he had to sacrifice another identity, "My personal fighting teacher, surnamed Ji."
"It turned out to be a fighting teacher. Then I admitted my mistake. I thought I ran into someone I knew in high school."
Lu Can asked curiously, "Who?"
"The one in the third middle school next to you, hey, you have to force me to say...that is the bully that the school belle likes. But the figure of the bully is much different from that of Mr. Ji. I must have misjudged him. Don't mind."
Because the two schools had different dismissal times, Zhou Yan had never formally met his love rival at the beginning, but only had a few glances from a distance.That kid is very thin, and he wears long sleeves in summer, and his exposed wrists are often abnormally pale. The overall feeling is... how to describe it.
Very sick.
Compared with the tall, not very strong but at least healthy man in front of him, he was far away.
The most important thing is that with the IQ and education of the rival in love, he should be sitting in the office now, and it is impossible to come out to be a private teacher.
There was a small oolong, and Zhou Yan defended himself carelessly.Ji Mingze nodded slightly to show that he was fine, then turned to Zhou Yan and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
The facial features are indeed a bit like a bully, but if he is really a bully, his expression will not be so open after being recognized.Zhou Yan dispelled his doubts and nodded: "Oh hello, then I'll go back to my car first."
According to the plan, Zhou Yan began to have in-depth exchanges with the director Windsor who failed to resign, and took the opportunity to propose that his younger brother had a lot of money and didn't know how to manage money, and wanted to find products with higher returns for investment.
In fact, as a financial company that needs to expand customers, the contact information of Xinpu employees can be found online.But one is that the director will distribute non-key projects to the employees below, and Lu Can cannot directly contact her; the other is that Xinpu is on the cusp of the storm, and the company must have ordered employees not to talk about suicides, so for strangers visiting customers, Windsor will be very wary, and it will be difficult to dig out useful things from her mouth.
So Zhou Yan could only be sent to use the beauty trick.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. On the third night, Zhou Yan asked Windsor to have dinner together, and brought his "dumb and rich" younger brother Lu Can over there.
"Hello, little sister," Lu Can tried his best to play the role of the rich second generation, "what's your name?"
"Windsor, please call me Sister Sasha."
"Okay, Sister Sasha. My dad sent me another sum of money recently..."
Lu Can told Windsor about his asset status, and in order to convince her, he also "casually" showed the seven-figure deposit in the mobile bank.
Seeing that he was really a bit of a "stupid man with a lot of money", Windsor put forward several professional opinions.The three talked and laughed, and had a good time talking.
When we got to the middle of the conversation, Lu Can grinned and said, "By the way, Sister Sasha, I heard the news that a girl jumped off the building from your company. It's a pity that she looks pretty in the photos."
Even though Windsor was already deeply fascinated by Zhou Yan, she thought for a few seconds before vaguely saying: "Yes, it's a pity, she was going to take my place."
Sensing her reserved attitude, Lu Can knew that there was nothing to ask directly, so he switched to insinuating: "Take your position? You want to resign? Xinpu is considered a relatively good financial company in Bincheng, why did you resign? "
"Because I'm fed up!" When it came to work, Windsor was full of indignation, "Not to mention working overtime, that old man always asks me to go to his office when he has something to do. His big face and small eyes look like sesame cakes, isn't it? Don't you usually look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue you have!"
Hearing "go to the office", Lu Can and Zhou Yan looked at each other secretly.
Windsor has already achieved the position of director, and there are very few people who can control her.Among them, the image of big face and small eyes...
Zhou Yan asked: "I told you to go to the office... Do you want the unspoken rules in the workplace? Who is it, the one from Xinpu——"
The word "Liu Guan" almost blurted out, Lu Can hurriedly kicked Zhou Yan under the table.Zhou Yan realized that he had said something wrong, and based on their personality, they shouldn't know Liu Guan.Lu Can took the conversation by the way, "Does the boss of Xinpu like you? Does he like girls who jump off buildings?"
"Uh..." Windsor was evasive for fear of talking too much, "It's, it's one of my bosses. He usually likes to mess with employees. I don't know if he likes Qin Yuanyuan or not."
Windsor sneered, and the contempt in her tone could not be concealed, "I think he likes anyone who is beautiful, regardless of gender, meat or vegetables."
"Oh, that's too much."
Zhou Yan firmly grasped the edge of the stool with his left hand, and Lu Can's face became stiff for a moment.He could feel that Zhou Yan was on the verge of rage, so he stopped him in a low voice by asking the waiter to add more dishes.
In the second half of the trip, the two of them were not in the mood to eat, and they didn't ask Windsor any more. After all, Windsor will be in this business in the future, and talking too much is not good for her.
When he returned to Lu Can's house, Zhou Yan finally couldn't restrain his anger, pulled off his clothes and threw it on the ground: "Fuck, Yuanmeier's death must have something to do with that idiot man! Xiao Can, go get me a knife. Just stabbed him!"
Lu Can's face was so ugly that he took a moment to say: "Don't be impulsive, I can't be 100% sure that it is Yuanmeier who forced her to death. I will inquire later."
"Where the hell can I find out? If Windsor hadn't been wanting to leave the job, it would be impossible to tell us so much today. I think we can only ask the person concerned now. Didn't Windsor just say that he doesn't taboo men and women, regardless of meat and vegetables? You teach me A few ways to seduce a man, I will invite him out and ask him carefully, if it is really him, I will kill him on the spot and give Yuanmeier revenge!"
Lu Can was speechless, he never expected Zhou Yan to come up with such a bad idea, and he had no doubt that the other party would really pull out a knife to stab someone after confirming that it was Liu Guan. Reasons to contact Windsor.
Seeing Lu Can's exhaustion, Ji Mingze, who hadn't had time to leave yet, poured a cup of hot water and pushed it in front of him.Lu Can held the cup, and his chaotic mood calmed down a little.
"Straight men can't be gay, stop thinking about it, go back and have a rest first. And Liu Guan met you that day in the mortuary," Lu Can sighed, "He's not a fool, give me some time."
Chapter 22 warns "Remember what you said today," Ji Mingze said, "Don't risk yourself."
As Zhou Yan said, no matter how much Lu Can inquired, he failed to find any news about Qin Yuanyuan.Simplo Finance was unanimously tight-lipped, as if it was really just pointing its own back, and accidentally got involved with an employee who had suicidal thoughts.
Lao Mao also retrieved Qin Yuanyuan's call records through relatives.Compared with other colleagues, she has more frequent contact with Liu Guan, about once a day or two.At the same time, because the mobile phone was broken when it fell from the building, it took a lot of time to restore the WeChat chat records.Among the less than [-] messages with Liu Guan, one-third assigned work; one-third cared about her subordinates—asked her if she encountered difficulties in the process of working on the project, etc.; the remaining one-third were exactly the same The seven words: [Come to my office], it can be normal if it is normal, and it is not normal if it is not normal.
Zhou Yan leaned against the wall of Lu Can's house, wondering if he hadn't slept well since the accident, his eyes were bloodshot and scary, "Which boss has nothing to ask his subordinates to go to his office, that idiot has no good intentions!"
"I think so too, but Yanzi," Lao Mao sighed, "It can be explained that as a backup director, Liu Guan pays more attention to Yuanmeier, so he often talks to her about working methods and work experience."
Zhou Yan was dumbfounded. He has been playing in a band since graduating from university and never went to work. He doesn't quite understand the twists and turns of work, but he understands after listening to Lao Mao: "...the old beast hides the fox tail That's great, don't show it at all."
Including call records, it is too common for the boss to call the backup director. Even if the frequency is higher, there are countless reasons to excuse it.As Windsor said, Liu Guan is a habitual offender with rich experience and has already figured out how to dance on the basis of the law.
"By the way, Xiaocan," Lao Mao asked, "Has the autopsy report come out?"
The autopsy should be done within 48 hours after death, and it can be extended to seven days after death if there is a freezing condition. Because the Qin family disagreed, they insisted on signing it until yesterday.
Lu Can shook his head: "No, wait a little longer."
"Still waiting? When will we wait? When everyone forgets that there was a girl who jumped from Xinpu?"
Zhou Yan slammed Lao Mao and Lu Can speechless.Zhou Yan continued: "It's useless to sit and wait for death, and what does the autopsy report show? We've already watched the video, and Yuanmeier jumped off by herself. There is no drama about poisoning and framing in TV dramas. Brother, let's not wait." ..."
Zhou Yan looked at Lu Can, "Xiao Can, tell me what men like, I can change and pretend, I, I really want to know the truth now!"
He wanted to know the truth, so why didn't Lu Can want to know the truth - there was no one in this room who didn't want to know the truth!
"Don't mess around," Lao Mao couldn't help scolding, "Can you do this kind of thing casually? What if you get injured? Xiaocan, please ignore him. It's getting late now. You should eat something quickly. I'll bring you some food first." Swallows go back."
Lu Can nodded, "You guys also have a good rest."
Reluctantly, Zhou Yan was forcibly taken away by Lao Mao.Lu Can pushed aside the thin blanket thrown on the chair, put down his hand, but suddenly forgot what he was going to do.
He has been in a wandering state for the past few days. Ji Mingze saw it and pulled out the chair for him, "Sit."
It was only then that Lu Can remembered that he was tired from standing for too long, and fiddled with the blanket to sit down and rest, slumped on the chair, and opened the delivery software, "Mr. Ji, stay and eat. I'll order, which cuisine do you want? "
Ji Mingze said: "No need to order, I will do it. What do you want to eat?"
In fact, Lu Can was not in the mood to push back and forth with Ji Mingze. He had been in trouble for so many days, so he propped his chin and said, "How about some warm ones?"
When it comes to eating, Lu Can seldom asks for something like "eat hot food".He has a strong taste and likes to eat all kinds of salty and spicy food.But now I don’t have any appetite, and my food requirements have been reduced to the point where I can fill my stomach and not feel uncomfortable after eating.
"Okay, wait for me for half an hour."
Picking up his phone, Ji Mingze was about to go out to buy groceries.Before going out, Lu Can stopped him: "Wait, Teacher Ji! The password is 120620."
"March 12, 6?"
"That's right, you deciphered it so quickly...I'm going to take a shower, and when you come back later, you can press the password to enter the house."
Ji Mingze said "um", opened the door and went out.Lu Can thought he would ask what this date represented, and was ready to answer, but he didn't open his mouth at all.
Forget it, Lu Can thought, isn't Ji Ming just like this character.Don't talk too much, don't ask too much, don't interfere too much. For example, when talking about the incident that almost killed him in the alley last time, Ji Ming didn't ask anything as before.Maybe I feel that I have no position to ask, maybe my curiosity is not as strong as others.
Or maybe not interested in his experience.
People are not interested in him as a person, so there is really no need to ask about his experience.
Lu Can pursed her lips, found out her home clothes, pulled on her shoes and went to take a shower.
I have to admire Teacher Ji's efficiency. When Lu Can came out of the bathroom, there was already a pot of steaming hot pot on the table.
It may not be appropriate to describe it as a hot pot, but the meat and vegetables cooked with hot pot base are bubbling and bubbling on a small induction cooker.The fiery red chili surged with the boiling water, which made Lu Can, who had a poor appetite, a little bit hungry.
He opened the dipping material, scooped out a spoonful, and pushed the rest to Ji Mingze: "I found that you like spicy food."
Most of the local dishes in the north are salty and fresh. Ji Mingze paused with his chopsticks, "It's okay."
"I also like spicy food. Oh no—" Lu Can suddenly thought, "That cool scar on the back of your neck...would it be uncomfortable if you always eat spicy food?"
In fact, Ji Mingze hasn't eaten spicy food for many years in order to heal his injuries.He didn't have a strong appetite at all, so he didn't think it was a pity, he just said: "It doesn't matter."
It's okay again.
In the past, when asked if it hurts, he said it was okay, but now when asked whether eating spicy food will affect the wound, he also said it was okay. What does "it doesn't matter" mean?Is it painful, affects the wound but doesn't care?Or do you feel that you are too lenient and unwilling to answer questions directly?
Lu Can picked and picked, picked two stalks of coriander from the entangled vegetable leaves, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed, his thoughts drifted away, and he remembered what Zhou Yan said just now.
After eating a meal carelessly, my stomach is full and I feel a little more energetic.
After clearing the table, Ji Mingze went to the kitchen to wash the pot.Feeling ashamed to bother him about "taking care of the funeral", Lu Can rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to do the dishes.The two stood side by side in front of the hand basin, silently doing the work in hand, which reminded Lu Can of the word "family".
All ordinary families seem to be like this. After a long time, the young couple has gotten to know that they don't have so much to talk about, but they wash the dishes in the same way, and the frequency of watering is the same. The breathing rate is all tuned to a consistent pace.The moonlight covered the sky like a veil, and they could smell the lemon dishwashing liquid together for a long, long time.
"Lu Can," Ji Mingze suddenly said, "Do you want to do what Zhou Yan said?"
Lu Can turned his head subconsciously, facing last Ji Mingze's probing eyes.His heart beat violently, and his breathing involuntarily adjusted to the same frequency as the other person, "No, no, no, it's too dangerous, and I'm not a fool."
"Remember what you said today," Ji Mingze said, "Don't risk yourself."
Lu Can heard a warning in his tone, the honest Ji Ming had never spoken to him like that.The strange thing is that Lu Can doesn't feel that his temperament is contradictory. It seems that this person is born with a strong side, but he doesn't usually show it.
Thinking about the truth, Lu Can didn't think much, nodded to express that he would remember, and continued to wash his bowl.
After sending Ji Mingze away, Lu Can leaned on the head of the bed, clutching the corners of his back and pinching them tangledly.In fact, Ji Mingze guessed right just now, he really moved his idea of seducing Boss Liu.Because on the day of Qin Yuanyuan's suicide, he had been sitting in the innermost side of the mortuary corridor watching the performance of the Qin family, but didn't come close, Mr. Liu probably didn't have an impression of him.
As the temperature got cooler and the heating got better, the bedroom was much warmer than before.Lu Can ate and drank enough, tangled and drowsy.Just when he was about to fall asleep, there were two sounds of "Zi Zi—" and the phone rang suddenly.
He opened it in a daze, and the moment he saw the content clearly, he was so shocked that he woke up instantly!
——That was Qin Yuanyuan's autopsy report, and the result column stated that she died from a fall from a height.Before his death, his body was accompanied by minor injuries of varying degrees, most of which were bruises and soft tissue contusions.
Accidental bumps in daily life are normal, but what is shocking is the location of her injuries, which are mostly distributed on the inner thighs, buttocks and chest.As an adult, Lu Can could tell that it wasn't a bump, but... a trace produced during the sexual process.
Someone sexually abused Qin Yuanyuan.
The chest tightness was severe, Lu Can flicked off the phone with all his strength, and the focus was fixed on the wall without moving.
Until his eyes were so dry that he was about to shed tears, he took a deep breath and made up his mind to call the phone number of his private detective friend.
"Hey, Haozi, help me check Liu Guan's itinerary. Yes, I... need to find him."
Chapter 23 Drugs "Teacher Ji, is it you... Help, help me, I feel so bad..."
Lu Can didn't show Lao Mao and Zhou Yan the autopsy report. Qin Yuanyuan wore a beautiful dress when she jumped off the stairs. He thought, she must hope that everyone can remember her most beautiful appearance, not such an ugly appearance.
Not long after, a private detective friend sent over an itinerary.Lu Can glanced at him, raised his eyebrows slightly—hey, this old man has a rich private life! There are programs arranged every night. Tonight is to watch opera, tomorrow night to play bowling, and the day after tomorrow to go to the fitness club to exercise.
It’s not easy to communicate in opera, and the fitness partner has a personal trainer. He may not be able to get in the conversation. Only bowling can ensure that they are in the same venue and they can find opportunities to strike up a conversation.
Lu Can closed his eyes, searched out the phone number of the bowling alley without hesitation, and made a reservation for tomorrow night.
While doing these things, he secretly decided not to tell anyone - including Ji Mingze.
Lao Mao will definitely stop him if he finds out, Zhou Yan might ask to go with him, as for Ji Ming...
The guy in the kitchen had a very serious tone, which made him a little scared.He hasn't seen Ji Ming get angry yet, what does it look like when an honest person gets angry?Sitting quietly?Curse people directly?
Or just walk away?
Terrible, Lu Can thought depressingly, he didn't have friends with such personality around him, so he couldn't guess it at all!
In order to hide the truth from those three, Lu Can lied that he was going back to Lu's house for dinner the next night.Ji Mingze sent him outside Lu's house. The sky was overcast and the moon could not be seen, which made people feel restless.Ji Mingze asked, "What time do you leave? I'll pick you up."
"Not necessarily," Lu Can said, "See if my dad will make me drink. You don't have to worry about me, you've been quite tired these days, go back and rest early."
I like to do my own thing.
Ji Mingze looked at him for a long while, then said seemingly unintentionally, "Are you staying here tonight?"
Lu Can opened his mouth and wanted to say that he lived in Lu's house, but the words turned around - the answer was so straightforward that it sounded suspicious.
"Well...not necessarily. I don't really like living at home. If I can go back, I will go back. But my family has a driver, so you don't have to worry."
Ji Mingze nodded, then turned and left.
When the familiar white car came out of sight, Lu Can tiptoed out of the Lujia community, took a taxi and headed straight to the bowling alley.Halfway through, I suddenly remembered that tomorrow is New Year's Day, and tonight is New Year's Eve.
He took out his mobile phone and set an alarm clock, thinking that no matter what happened later, he would send "Happy New Year" to Ji Ming at midnight.Ji Ming's parents were away, and he didn't usually see any friends who had a good relationship with him. He probably had to spend New Year's Eve alone in a small two-bedroom house. Thinking about it made him feel sad.
There is no way this year. Finding out the cause of Qin Yuanyuan's death is more important than anything else.Wait until next year, ask Ji Ming to go to the riverside to watch the fireworks show next year.The city of Ben Thanh is rarely associated with romance, and the fireworks show is one of the few things that can be called "dream".And he knows that there is a Jiangjing restaurant whose fish is particularly delicious, Ji Ming should be able to - hey, this year people don't pay attention to him, why are they planning for next year out of nowhere?
Just thinking wildly like this, Lu Can went to the bowling alley.Because most of the young people went out for the New Year's Eve carnival, there were not many people in the venue, so he quickly found his target.
Liu Guan was wearing a navy blue polo shirt and sweatpants. His hair could be seen to have been carefully groomed, combed meticulously to the back of his head.Holding the ball in his hand, but his eyes have been wandering all over the place. Obviously, 30.00% of them are here to play, and 70.00% are here to look for prey.
Relying on his face, Lu Can became his prey as he wished.
Liu Guanxian took the initiative to ask Ying to teach him how to play, and then said that today is a good day, and he wanted to invite his handsome new friend out for a drink.Lu Can readily agreed and got into Liu Guan's car.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside a western restaurant in the suburbs, and Lu Can felt a little frightened after he realized it—fortunately, this old guy didn't take him to a small abandoned factory to commit obscenity. Calling every day should not be called, and the earth and the earth are not working!
"I'm getting old, and I don't like bars like you young people." Liu Guan led Lu Can upstairs, holding his waist with his hands, "This is my friend's restaurant. His house has a lot of premium red wine. We can Taste a few more flavors."
Lu Can quickly took two steps away from the old man, "I've never eaten at this restaurant, thank you for bringing me here!"
"You are welcome. I greeted my friends. Tonight, the second floor is only open to you and me. We can play as much as we want, and play as much as we want."
Lu Can got goosebumps all over his body from his deliberately protracted syllables, he tried his best to resist the urge to blow the opponent's dog's head off, and said innocently, "Really, then I'm going to choose a bottle of sweeter wine... .”
As Liu Guan said, they are the only guests on the second floor of the restaurant tonight.On the tablecloth embroidered with flying birds, there were silver candlesticks, and the flickering candles cast shadows on the walls, reminiscent of some ugly monsters.
Lu Can tried to find topics to chat like a blind date, and asked the old man's age, occupation, interests, etc., but Liu Guan answered all the questions, and readily admitted that he was the boss of Xinpu Finance.
The two were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was enjoyable.When he was about to finish eating, Lu Can took advantage of the opportunity of sending WeChat to turn on the recording function of his mobile phone, slammed it upside down on the table, and said "Yeah", "I suddenly remembered that a while ago, a girl made news because she jumped off a building. Is it from Xinpu Financial?"
Liu Guandao: "That's right, it's here."
"What is the reason? Is it really too much pressure? It's a pity that I'm only in my 20s."
"Yeah, what a pity," Liu Guan said quietly, "I quite like her."
When the word "like" was mentioned, Liu Guan let out a long sigh.It's more like nostalgia for a lover than appreciation.Lu Can didn't expect the other party to speak out frankly, and he doubted his own judgment for a while.
He picked up the goblet, and while sipping the wine, he quickly thought about how to formulate the words.I don't know if the heating is better. The restaurant is very hot. Lu Can opened his collar and fanned it, and a fine layer of sweat beads had formed on his neck.
"Brother Liu," Lu Can said in a soft voice, imitating the coquetry on TV, "What kind of love do you have for her? Is it the same as for me?"
Liu Guan smiled and said, "Are you jealous?"
"Well," as if someone lit a fire in his body, Lu Can was inexplicably anxious, "I'm just jealous! Have you brought her here for dinner? Have you brought her home? Follow her... ...in bed? How much do you like her?"
"Eat...go home...go to bed...."
Liu Guan repeated these few words, and when he slowly drank the red wine in the glass, he suddenly raised his head to look at him, and said word by word, "How do you want me to answer——Lu, Can?"
Lu, Chan...
As if being locked by a poisonous snake, Lu Can froze in place, his spine was numb and his heart beat faster - he hadn't told Liu Guan what his name was before, how did Liu Guan know?
Could it be... Could it be that the other party recognized him?
"Surprise."
Liu Guan tidied up his clothes and got up slowly: "You thought I didn't see you, but in fact, I noticed you since the beginning of the mortuary. When I got out of the elevator that day, everyone was yelling, which made people irritated. You sat quietly at the end of the corridor, and your eyes were distressing like a lost sheep. At that time, I thought, one day I will find you and love you well. I was planning to wait until the matter of Yuanyuan passed before I acted , I didn't expect you to deliver it to your door today."
The word "beloved" made Lu Can retch for a while. After the initial fear passed, he quickly calmed down—now that his identity has been exposed, he might as well follow Liu Guan's words.
Anyway, his purpose is to make clichés, as long as he can make them out, he can use any method.
Lu Can pretended to be ashamed and angry: "Okay, then let's open the skylight and speak honestly. The surname Liu, Qin Yuanyuan, did you kill it?"
Liu Guan took a deep breath like taking drugs, "You must really want to hear me say 'yes', but unfortunately I can't love you for this, my little sheep."
At this moment, Lu Can finally realized how reckless he and Zhou Yan were.This person can sexually harass female subordinates all year round without overturning his car. He must be very guarded. How could he easily get out of the way?I really shouldn't have gotten so excited after seeing the autopsy report that I believed Zhou Yan's bad idea.
Tonight can be said to be a complete failure, but it doesn't matter, you can look for other breakthroughs.Lu Can rubbed his blurry eyes, and planned to leave, "It doesn't matter, if you don't say it, don't say it, I will send you to prison sooner or later, goodbye."
"Goodbye?" Liu Guan laughed, "Did I let you go, little sheep?"
What do you mean by "Did I let you go?" Lu Can thought he wanted to use force, so he clenched his fists and planned to reward this old bastard with a "dinner".
The next second, he found that the problem was with himself.
He couldn't hold his hand anymore.
Lu Can realized something.He gritted his teeth and looked at Mr. Liu: "You, you fucking drug me! Where did you get the contraband!"
"Well, it's not a medicine, it's just something that makes you let go and play. Don't worry, I really like you and I won't hurt you too much." Liu Guan had a confident expression on his face.
Lu Can supported the edge of the table with both hands, making a look like he wanted to stand up but couldn't.Liu Guan admired his fragile state condescendingly for a few seconds, then bent down and stretched out his arms——
At this moment, Lu Can suddenly grabbed the red wine bottle and smashed it to the back of Liu Guan's head with all his strength. With a "click", broken glass scattered and splashed, and Liu Guan was directly opened!
Because of the high-intensity fighting training some time ago, Lu Can's physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary boys, so he was able to fight against the effects of the medicine.But now that he was at the end of his strength, he ran down the stairs while Mr. Liu was in so much pain that he couldn't straighten up.
When he arrived at the door, the waiter cast a suspicious look at him, and Lu Can had to slow down and said cryptically, "I'm going to buy some necessities."
The waiter smiled at him ambiguously, Lu Can had no time to pull the zipper of his down jacket, and walked out the door with his head down.Then walked faster and faster, walked faster and faster, turned the corner and started running!
Mr. Liu's driver was waiting at the door. He wasn't sure if the beast would lose his temper and sent the driver to kidnap him on the street.Up until now, being alive was more important than anything else, and he knew he couldn't hide it anymore.What's more, under the effect of the medicine, his whole body was as hot as being roasted on the stove, his hands and feet were sore and limp, so he had to use his last rationality to dial the string of phone numbers.
"Ji Ming... Teacher Ji..."
Hearing that his tone was wrong, Ji Mingze immediately asked, "Where are you?"
"I'm in... I don't know... it should be a development zone, there is a corner house on the left, with a clock hanging on the roof..."
"Keep on the call, don't hang up, I'm going over now."
The voice on the other end of the phone was as cold as ice, and Lu Can's body shivered involuntarily.But his consciousness has been burnt by the fire, and he doesn't understand why Teacher Ji is angry, and he doesn't know where he is. He just remembers that someone told him not to hang up the phone.
He gripped the phone hard, and dragged his limp legs to walk forward with difficulty.Not long after walking, he suddenly bumped into a strong chest.
"Mr. Ji, is it you...Help, help me, I'm so sad..."
White shirt, black suit, loose neckline, familiar pine scent... This is what Lu Can saw before closing his eyes.
Among the three of them, Lao Mao had to take care of his sick younger sister, so he couldn't put all his energy on Qin Yuanyuan.Zhou Yan has nothing to worry about, but that guy has a pessimistic and impulsive personality, which might lead to bad things.So no matter how tired and confused he is, the responsibility for investigating the cause of Qin Yuanyuan's death can only be borne by him.
Didn't fall asleep last night, got up too early in the morning and had another fight just now, Lu Can felt pain everywhere, both painful and cold.
He pulled off his coat and put it on his body. He smelled it and thought of Ji Ming again.
After sending him home, Ji Ming helped cook the porridge and left.Still the same as some time ago, I didn't ask him if he needed help, and I never asked him to settle the car repair fee.
Like a rock hanging above your head, you know it will fall, but you don't know when it will fall, so you are always anxious and confused, looking forward to and afraid.
Including today's call, he didn't think about anything at the time, and dialed out by himself.Looking back now, it was not easy for Ji Mingneng to go to the hospital without saying anything.
He is so miserable, the other party should understand his mood, right?
Lu Can involuntarily took out his phone and opened the dialog with Mr. J.When he told Zhou Yan "no need to pick up", he didn't know whether Ji Ming was willing to pick him up or not. After all, from his previous performance, he could feel that he didn't want to keep in touch.
But he suddenly regretted his decision to stay away from Ji Ming.
Whether it's selfish or evil, he only knows that he needs Ji Ming very much recently.You don't need to do anything, just be by your side like you did in the morning.
Lu Can hovered his hand on the screen for a long time, took a deep breath, and typed a few words with great difficulty: 【Tomorrow at twelve noon, do you have time】
After posting, he stared at the chat interface, rehearsing in his mind what to do if Ji Mingze refused.
Fortunately, the other party was not ruthless enough not to reply to the message, Mr. J: [? 】
Lu Can clenched his left hand—what does it mean to send a question mark, questioning the reason for looking for him?Or simply ask?Huo Huo: [I want to go to Xinpu to investigate]
This time, the other party didn't reply for a long time. Lu Can buried his head in his coat, and felt a little dazed and empty in the most familiar environment.
Until the WeChat notification sounded again.
It is a voice of only two seconds.
What can you say in two seconds?Saying no is enough.Lu Can exposed half of his face from his coat, wanted to see but didn't want to, and finally closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and pressed the "play" button.
J: "Okay, I'll be there at 11:30."
After being processed by the electronic equipment, the deeper voice flowed into the ears, and Lu Can's string that had been broken for a whole day finally relaxed.
At twelve noon the next day, outside the office building of Simplo Financial.
A man in a small sheepskin jacket leaned against the pillar, his shoulder-length curly hair was casually pulled behind his head, and the high-quality leather matched his sallow look. He had a kind of prodigal demeanor, which attracted frequent glances from the employees who came in and out.
Not long after, a high-heeled woman came out of the revolving door. She wore a business attire under her overcoat. It looked like she had come out for a lunch break to eat.
The man straightened his clothes, and called her to stop leisurely.The woman was obviously stunned for a moment, and then the man didn't know what to say, she immediately beamed with joy, and the two entered the restaurant next door together talking and laughing.
Four or 10 minutes later, the man sent the woman back to the office building, turned around and walked to the SUV parked in the corner, and leaned over to fix her hair against the passenger glass.
"Stop flirting," Lu Can lowered the car window, "Did you succeed?"
Zhou Yan shook his phone, and there was a reminder that he had successfully added a friend, but his voice was still not very energetic, "Of course."
"OK, find a chance to introduce me to her."
"I'll just say you're my brother and want to know about portfolio products."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yan glanced at the person sitting in the driver's seat out of the corner of his eye, "Hey Xiaocan, this is...?"
Lu Can didn't know how to answer, he would be teased if he was called a friend, and he couldn't say he was a free coolie caught casually, so he had to sacrifice another identity, "My personal fighting teacher, surnamed Ji."
"It turned out to be a fighting teacher. Then I admitted my mistake. I thought I ran into someone I knew in high school."
Lu Can asked curiously, "Who?"
"The one in the third middle school next to you, hey, you have to force me to say...that is the bully that the school belle likes. But the figure of the bully is much different from that of Mr. Ji. I must have misjudged him. Don't mind."
Because the two schools had different dismissal times, Zhou Yan had never formally met his love rival at the beginning, but only had a few glances from a distance.That kid is very thin, and he wears long sleeves in summer, and his exposed wrists are often abnormally pale. The overall feeling is... how to describe it.
Very sick.
Compared with the tall, not very strong but at least healthy man in front of him, he was far away.
The most important thing is that with the IQ and education of the rival in love, he should be sitting in the office now, and it is impossible to come out to be a private teacher.
There was a small oolong, and Zhou Yan defended himself carelessly.Ji Mingze nodded slightly to show that he was fine, then turned to Zhou Yan and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."
The facial features are indeed a bit like a bully, but if he is really a bully, his expression will not be so open after being recognized.Zhou Yan dispelled his doubts and nodded: "Oh hello, then I'll go back to my car first."
According to the plan, Zhou Yan began to have in-depth exchanges with the director Windsor who failed to resign, and took the opportunity to propose that his younger brother had a lot of money and didn't know how to manage money, and wanted to find products with higher returns for investment.
In fact, as a financial company that needs to expand customers, the contact information of Xinpu employees can be found online.But one is that the director will distribute non-key projects to the employees below, and Lu Can cannot directly contact her; the other is that Xinpu is on the cusp of the storm, and the company must have ordered employees not to talk about suicides, so for strangers visiting customers, Windsor will be very wary, and it will be difficult to dig out useful things from her mouth.
So Zhou Yan could only be sent to use the beauty trick.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. On the third night, Zhou Yan asked Windsor to have dinner together, and brought his "dumb and rich" younger brother Lu Can over there.
"Hello, little sister," Lu Can tried his best to play the role of the rich second generation, "what's your name?"
"Windsor, please call me Sister Sasha."
"Okay, Sister Sasha. My dad sent me another sum of money recently..."
Lu Can told Windsor about his asset status, and in order to convince her, he also "casually" showed the seven-figure deposit in the mobile bank.
Seeing that he was really a bit of a "stupid man with a lot of money", Windsor put forward several professional opinions.The three talked and laughed, and had a good time talking.
When we got to the middle of the conversation, Lu Can grinned and said, "By the way, Sister Sasha, I heard the news that a girl jumped off the building from your company. It's a pity that she looks pretty in the photos."
Even though Windsor was already deeply fascinated by Zhou Yan, she thought for a few seconds before vaguely saying: "Yes, it's a pity, she was going to take my place."
Sensing her reserved attitude, Lu Can knew that there was nothing to ask directly, so he switched to insinuating: "Take your position? You want to resign? Xinpu is considered a relatively good financial company in Bincheng, why did you resign? "
"Because I'm fed up!" When it came to work, Windsor was full of indignation, "Not to mention working overtime, that old man always asks me to go to his office when he has something to do. His big face and small eyes look like sesame cakes, isn't it? Don't you usually look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue you have!"
Hearing "go to the office", Lu Can and Zhou Yan looked at each other secretly.
Windsor has already achieved the position of director, and there are very few people who can control her.Among them, the image of big face and small eyes...
Zhou Yan asked: "I told you to go to the office... Do you want the unspoken rules in the workplace? Who is it, the one from Xinpu——"
The word "Liu Guan" almost blurted out, Lu Can hurriedly kicked Zhou Yan under the table.Zhou Yan realized that he had said something wrong, and based on their personality, they shouldn't know Liu Guan.Lu Can took the conversation by the way, "Does the boss of Xinpu like you? Does he like girls who jump off buildings?"
"Uh..." Windsor was evasive for fear of talking too much, "It's, it's one of my bosses. He usually likes to mess with employees. I don't know if he likes Qin Yuanyuan or not."
Windsor sneered, and the contempt in her tone could not be concealed, "I think he likes anyone who is beautiful, regardless of gender, meat or vegetables."
"Oh, that's too much."
Zhou Yan firmly grasped the edge of the stool with his left hand, and Lu Can's face became stiff for a moment.He could feel that Zhou Yan was on the verge of rage, so he stopped him in a low voice by asking the waiter to add more dishes.
In the second half of the trip, the two of them were not in the mood to eat, and they didn't ask Windsor any more. After all, Windsor will be in this business in the future, and talking too much is not good for her.
When he returned to Lu Can's house, Zhou Yan finally couldn't restrain his anger, pulled off his clothes and threw it on the ground: "Fuck, Yuanmeier's death must have something to do with that idiot man! Xiao Can, go get me a knife. Just stabbed him!"
Lu Can's face was so ugly that he took a moment to say: "Don't be impulsive, I can't be 100% sure that it is Yuanmeier who forced her to death. I will inquire later."
"Where the hell can I find out? If Windsor hadn't been wanting to leave the job, it would be impossible to tell us so much today. I think we can only ask the person concerned now. Didn't Windsor just say that he doesn't taboo men and women, regardless of meat and vegetables? You teach me A few ways to seduce a man, I will invite him out and ask him carefully, if it is really him, I will kill him on the spot and give Yuanmeier revenge!"
Lu Can was speechless, he never expected Zhou Yan to come up with such a bad idea, and he had no doubt that the other party would really pull out a knife to stab someone after confirming that it was Liu Guan. Reasons to contact Windsor.
Seeing Lu Can's exhaustion, Ji Mingze, who hadn't had time to leave yet, poured a cup of hot water and pushed it in front of him.Lu Can held the cup, and his chaotic mood calmed down a little.
"Straight men can't be gay, stop thinking about it, go back and have a rest first. And Liu Guan met you that day in the mortuary," Lu Can sighed, "He's not a fool, give me some time."
Chapter 22 warns "Remember what you said today," Ji Mingze said, "Don't risk yourself."
As Zhou Yan said, no matter how much Lu Can inquired, he failed to find any news about Qin Yuanyuan.Simplo Finance was unanimously tight-lipped, as if it was really just pointing its own back, and accidentally got involved with an employee who had suicidal thoughts.
Lao Mao also retrieved Qin Yuanyuan's call records through relatives.Compared with other colleagues, she has more frequent contact with Liu Guan, about once a day or two.At the same time, because the mobile phone was broken when it fell from the building, it took a lot of time to restore the WeChat chat records.Among the less than [-] messages with Liu Guan, one-third assigned work; one-third cared about her subordinates—asked her if she encountered difficulties in the process of working on the project, etc.; the remaining one-third were exactly the same The seven words: [Come to my office], it can be normal if it is normal, and it is not normal if it is not normal.
Zhou Yan leaned against the wall of Lu Can's house, wondering if he hadn't slept well since the accident, his eyes were bloodshot and scary, "Which boss has nothing to ask his subordinates to go to his office, that idiot has no good intentions!"
"I think so too, but Yanzi," Lao Mao sighed, "It can be explained that as a backup director, Liu Guan pays more attention to Yuanmeier, so he often talks to her about working methods and work experience."
Zhou Yan was dumbfounded. He has been playing in a band since graduating from university and never went to work. He doesn't quite understand the twists and turns of work, but he understands after listening to Lao Mao: "...the old beast hides the fox tail That's great, don't show it at all."
Including call records, it is too common for the boss to call the backup director. Even if the frequency is higher, there are countless reasons to excuse it.As Windsor said, Liu Guan is a habitual offender with rich experience and has already figured out how to dance on the basis of the law.
"By the way, Xiaocan," Lao Mao asked, "Has the autopsy report come out?"
The autopsy should be done within 48 hours after death, and it can be extended to seven days after death if there is a freezing condition. Because the Qin family disagreed, they insisted on signing it until yesterday.
Lu Can shook his head: "No, wait a little longer."
"Still waiting? When will we wait? When everyone forgets that there was a girl who jumped from Xinpu?"
Zhou Yan slammed Lao Mao and Lu Can speechless.Zhou Yan continued: "It's useless to sit and wait for death, and what does the autopsy report show? We've already watched the video, and Yuanmeier jumped off by herself. There is no drama about poisoning and framing in TV dramas. Brother, let's not wait." ..."
Zhou Yan looked at Lu Can, "Xiao Can, tell me what men like, I can change and pretend, I, I really want to know the truth now!"
He wanted to know the truth, so why didn't Lu Can want to know the truth - there was no one in this room who didn't want to know the truth!
"Don't mess around," Lao Mao couldn't help scolding, "Can you do this kind of thing casually? What if you get injured? Xiaocan, please ignore him. It's getting late now. You should eat something quickly. I'll bring you some food first." Swallows go back."
Lu Can nodded, "You guys also have a good rest."
Reluctantly, Zhou Yan was forcibly taken away by Lao Mao.Lu Can pushed aside the thin blanket thrown on the chair, put down his hand, but suddenly forgot what he was going to do.
He has been in a wandering state for the past few days. Ji Mingze saw it and pulled out the chair for him, "Sit."
It was only then that Lu Can remembered that he was tired from standing for too long, and fiddled with the blanket to sit down and rest, slumped on the chair, and opened the delivery software, "Mr. Ji, stay and eat. I'll order, which cuisine do you want? "
Ji Mingze said: "No need to order, I will do it. What do you want to eat?"
In fact, Lu Can was not in the mood to push back and forth with Ji Mingze. He had been in trouble for so many days, so he propped his chin and said, "How about some warm ones?"
When it comes to eating, Lu Can seldom asks for something like "eat hot food".He has a strong taste and likes to eat all kinds of salty and spicy food.But now I don’t have any appetite, and my food requirements have been reduced to the point where I can fill my stomach and not feel uncomfortable after eating.
"Okay, wait for me for half an hour."
Picking up his phone, Ji Mingze was about to go out to buy groceries.Before going out, Lu Can stopped him: "Wait, Teacher Ji! The password is 120620."
"March 12, 6?"
"That's right, you deciphered it so quickly...I'm going to take a shower, and when you come back later, you can press the password to enter the house."
Ji Mingze said "um", opened the door and went out.Lu Can thought he would ask what this date represented, and was ready to answer, but he didn't open his mouth at all.
Forget it, Lu Can thought, isn't Ji Ming just like this character.Don't talk too much, don't ask too much, don't interfere too much. For example, when talking about the incident that almost killed him in the alley last time, Ji Ming didn't ask anything as before.Maybe I feel that I have no position to ask, maybe my curiosity is not as strong as others.
Or maybe not interested in his experience.
People are not interested in him as a person, so there is really no need to ask about his experience.
Lu Can pursed her lips, found out her home clothes, pulled on her shoes and went to take a shower.
I have to admire Teacher Ji's efficiency. When Lu Can came out of the bathroom, there was already a pot of steaming hot pot on the table.
It may not be appropriate to describe it as a hot pot, but the meat and vegetables cooked with hot pot base are bubbling and bubbling on a small induction cooker.The fiery red chili surged with the boiling water, which made Lu Can, who had a poor appetite, a little bit hungry.
He opened the dipping material, scooped out a spoonful, and pushed the rest to Ji Mingze: "I found that you like spicy food."
Most of the local dishes in the north are salty and fresh. Ji Mingze paused with his chopsticks, "It's okay."
"I also like spicy food. Oh no—" Lu Can suddenly thought, "That cool scar on the back of your neck...would it be uncomfortable if you always eat spicy food?"
In fact, Ji Mingze hasn't eaten spicy food for many years in order to heal his injuries.He didn't have a strong appetite at all, so he didn't think it was a pity, he just said: "It doesn't matter."
It's okay again.
In the past, when asked if it hurts, he said it was okay, but now when asked whether eating spicy food will affect the wound, he also said it was okay. What does "it doesn't matter" mean?Is it painful, affects the wound but doesn't care?Or do you feel that you are too lenient and unwilling to answer questions directly?
Lu Can picked and picked, picked two stalks of coriander from the entangled vegetable leaves, stuffed them into his mouth, chewed, his thoughts drifted away, and he remembered what Zhou Yan said just now.
After eating a meal carelessly, my stomach is full and I feel a little more energetic.
After clearing the table, Ji Mingze went to the kitchen to wash the pot.Feeling ashamed to bother him about "taking care of the funeral", Lu Can rolled up his sleeves and took the initiative to do the dishes.The two stood side by side in front of the hand basin, silently doing the work in hand, which reminded Lu Can of the word "family".
All ordinary families seem to be like this. After a long time, the young couple has gotten to know that they don't have so much to talk about, but they wash the dishes in the same way, and the frequency of watering is the same. The breathing rate is all tuned to a consistent pace.The moonlight covered the sky like a veil, and they could smell the lemon dishwashing liquid together for a long, long time.
"Lu Can," Ji Mingze suddenly said, "Do you want to do what Zhou Yan said?"
Lu Can turned his head subconsciously, facing last Ji Mingze's probing eyes.His heart beat violently, and his breathing involuntarily adjusted to the same frequency as the other person, "No, no, no, it's too dangerous, and I'm not a fool."
"Remember what you said today," Ji Mingze said, "Don't risk yourself."
Lu Can heard a warning in his tone, the honest Ji Ming had never spoken to him like that.The strange thing is that Lu Can doesn't feel that his temperament is contradictory. It seems that this person is born with a strong side, but he doesn't usually show it.
Thinking about the truth, Lu Can didn't think much, nodded to express that he would remember, and continued to wash his bowl.
After sending Ji Mingze away, Lu Can leaned on the head of the bed, clutching the corners of his back and pinching them tangledly.In fact, Ji Mingze guessed right just now, he really moved his idea of seducing Boss Liu.Because on the day of Qin Yuanyuan's suicide, he had been sitting in the innermost side of the mortuary corridor watching the performance of the Qin family, but didn't come close, Mr. Liu probably didn't have an impression of him.
As the temperature got cooler and the heating got better, the bedroom was much warmer than before.Lu Can ate and drank enough, tangled and drowsy.Just when he was about to fall asleep, there were two sounds of "Zi Zi—" and the phone rang suddenly.
He opened it in a daze, and the moment he saw the content clearly, he was so shocked that he woke up instantly!
——That was Qin Yuanyuan's autopsy report, and the result column stated that she died from a fall from a height.Before his death, his body was accompanied by minor injuries of varying degrees, most of which were bruises and soft tissue contusions.
Accidental bumps in daily life are normal, but what is shocking is the location of her injuries, which are mostly distributed on the inner thighs, buttocks and chest.As an adult, Lu Can could tell that it wasn't a bump, but... a trace produced during the sexual process.
Someone sexually abused Qin Yuanyuan.
The chest tightness was severe, Lu Can flicked off the phone with all his strength, and the focus was fixed on the wall without moving.
Until his eyes were so dry that he was about to shed tears, he took a deep breath and made up his mind to call the phone number of his private detective friend.
"Hey, Haozi, help me check Liu Guan's itinerary. Yes, I... need to find him."
Chapter 23 Drugs "Teacher Ji, is it you... Help, help me, I feel so bad..."
Lu Can didn't show Lao Mao and Zhou Yan the autopsy report. Qin Yuanyuan wore a beautiful dress when she jumped off the stairs. He thought, she must hope that everyone can remember her most beautiful appearance, not such an ugly appearance.
Not long after, a private detective friend sent over an itinerary.Lu Can glanced at him, raised his eyebrows slightly—hey, this old man has a rich private life! There are programs arranged every night. Tonight is to watch opera, tomorrow night to play bowling, and the day after tomorrow to go to the fitness club to exercise.
It’s not easy to communicate in opera, and the fitness partner has a personal trainer. He may not be able to get in the conversation. Only bowling can ensure that they are in the same venue and they can find opportunities to strike up a conversation.
Lu Can closed his eyes, searched out the phone number of the bowling alley without hesitation, and made a reservation for tomorrow night.
While doing these things, he secretly decided not to tell anyone - including Ji Mingze.
Lao Mao will definitely stop him if he finds out, Zhou Yan might ask to go with him, as for Ji Ming...
The guy in the kitchen had a very serious tone, which made him a little scared.He hasn't seen Ji Ming get angry yet, what does it look like when an honest person gets angry?Sitting quietly?Curse people directly?
Or just walk away?
Terrible, Lu Can thought depressingly, he didn't have friends with such personality around him, so he couldn't guess it at all!
In order to hide the truth from those three, Lu Can lied that he was going back to Lu's house for dinner the next night.Ji Mingze sent him outside Lu's house. The sky was overcast and the moon could not be seen, which made people feel restless.Ji Mingze asked, "What time do you leave? I'll pick you up."
"Not necessarily," Lu Can said, "See if my dad will make me drink. You don't have to worry about me, you've been quite tired these days, go back and rest early."
I like to do my own thing.
Ji Mingze looked at him for a long while, then said seemingly unintentionally, "Are you staying here tonight?"
Lu Can opened his mouth and wanted to say that he lived in Lu's house, but the words turned around - the answer was so straightforward that it sounded suspicious.
"Well...not necessarily. I don't really like living at home. If I can go back, I will go back. But my family has a driver, so you don't have to worry."
Ji Mingze nodded, then turned and left.
When the familiar white car came out of sight, Lu Can tiptoed out of the Lujia community, took a taxi and headed straight to the bowling alley.Halfway through, I suddenly remembered that tomorrow is New Year's Day, and tonight is New Year's Eve.
He took out his mobile phone and set an alarm clock, thinking that no matter what happened later, he would send "Happy New Year" to Ji Ming at midnight.Ji Ming's parents were away, and he didn't usually see any friends who had a good relationship with him. He probably had to spend New Year's Eve alone in a small two-bedroom house. Thinking about it made him feel sad.
There is no way this year. Finding out the cause of Qin Yuanyuan's death is more important than anything else.Wait until next year, ask Ji Ming to go to the riverside to watch the fireworks show next year.The city of Ben Thanh is rarely associated with romance, and the fireworks show is one of the few things that can be called "dream".And he knows that there is a Jiangjing restaurant whose fish is particularly delicious, Ji Ming should be able to - hey, this year people don't pay attention to him, why are they planning for next year out of nowhere?
Just thinking wildly like this, Lu Can went to the bowling alley.Because most of the young people went out for the New Year's Eve carnival, there were not many people in the venue, so he quickly found his target.
Liu Guan was wearing a navy blue polo shirt and sweatpants. His hair could be seen to have been carefully groomed, combed meticulously to the back of his head.Holding the ball in his hand, but his eyes have been wandering all over the place. Obviously, 30.00% of them are here to play, and 70.00% are here to look for prey.
Relying on his face, Lu Can became his prey as he wished.
Liu Guanxian took the initiative to ask Ying to teach him how to play, and then said that today is a good day, and he wanted to invite his handsome new friend out for a drink.Lu Can readily agreed and got into Liu Guan's car.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside a western restaurant in the suburbs, and Lu Can felt a little frightened after he realized it—fortunately, this old guy didn't take him to a small abandoned factory to commit obscenity. Calling every day should not be called, and the earth and the earth are not working!
"I'm getting old, and I don't like bars like you young people." Liu Guan led Lu Can upstairs, holding his waist with his hands, "This is my friend's restaurant. His house has a lot of premium red wine. We can Taste a few more flavors."
Lu Can quickly took two steps away from the old man, "I've never eaten at this restaurant, thank you for bringing me here!"
"You are welcome. I greeted my friends. Tonight, the second floor is only open to you and me. We can play as much as we want, and play as much as we want."
Lu Can got goosebumps all over his body from his deliberately protracted syllables, he tried his best to resist the urge to blow the opponent's dog's head off, and said innocently, "Really, then I'm going to choose a bottle of sweeter wine... .”
As Liu Guan said, they are the only guests on the second floor of the restaurant tonight.On the tablecloth embroidered with flying birds, there were silver candlesticks, and the flickering candles cast shadows on the walls, reminiscent of some ugly monsters.
Lu Can tried to find topics to chat like a blind date, and asked the old man's age, occupation, interests, etc., but Liu Guan answered all the questions, and readily admitted that he was the boss of Xinpu Finance.
The two were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was enjoyable.When he was about to finish eating, Lu Can took advantage of the opportunity of sending WeChat to turn on the recording function of his mobile phone, slammed it upside down on the table, and said "Yeah", "I suddenly remembered that a while ago, a girl made news because she jumped off a building. Is it from Xinpu Financial?"
Liu Guandao: "That's right, it's here."
"What is the reason? Is it really too much pressure? It's a pity that I'm only in my 20s."
"Yeah, what a pity," Liu Guan said quietly, "I quite like her."
When the word "like" was mentioned, Liu Guan let out a long sigh.It's more like nostalgia for a lover than appreciation.Lu Can didn't expect the other party to speak out frankly, and he doubted his own judgment for a while.
He picked up the goblet, and while sipping the wine, he quickly thought about how to formulate the words.I don't know if the heating is better. The restaurant is very hot. Lu Can opened his collar and fanned it, and a fine layer of sweat beads had formed on his neck.
"Brother Liu," Lu Can said in a soft voice, imitating the coquetry on TV, "What kind of love do you have for her? Is it the same as for me?"
Liu Guan smiled and said, "Are you jealous?"
"Well," as if someone lit a fire in his body, Lu Can was inexplicably anxious, "I'm just jealous! Have you brought her here for dinner? Have you brought her home? Follow her... ...in bed? How much do you like her?"
"Eat...go home...go to bed...."
Liu Guan repeated these few words, and when he slowly drank the red wine in the glass, he suddenly raised his head to look at him, and said word by word, "How do you want me to answer——Lu, Can?"
Lu, Chan...
As if being locked by a poisonous snake, Lu Can froze in place, his spine was numb and his heart beat faster - he hadn't told Liu Guan what his name was before, how did Liu Guan know?
Could it be... Could it be that the other party recognized him?
"Surprise."
Liu Guan tidied up his clothes and got up slowly: "You thought I didn't see you, but in fact, I noticed you since the beginning of the mortuary. When I got out of the elevator that day, everyone was yelling, which made people irritated. You sat quietly at the end of the corridor, and your eyes were distressing like a lost sheep. At that time, I thought, one day I will find you and love you well. I was planning to wait until the matter of Yuanyuan passed before I acted , I didn't expect you to deliver it to your door today."
The word "beloved" made Lu Can retch for a while. After the initial fear passed, he quickly calmed down—now that his identity has been exposed, he might as well follow Liu Guan's words.
Anyway, his purpose is to make clichés, as long as he can make them out, he can use any method.
Lu Can pretended to be ashamed and angry: "Okay, then let's open the skylight and speak honestly. The surname Liu, Qin Yuanyuan, did you kill it?"
Liu Guan took a deep breath like taking drugs, "You must really want to hear me say 'yes', but unfortunately I can't love you for this, my little sheep."
At this moment, Lu Can finally realized how reckless he and Zhou Yan were.This person can sexually harass female subordinates all year round without overturning his car. He must be very guarded. How could he easily get out of the way?I really shouldn't have gotten so excited after seeing the autopsy report that I believed Zhou Yan's bad idea.
Tonight can be said to be a complete failure, but it doesn't matter, you can look for other breakthroughs.Lu Can rubbed his blurry eyes, and planned to leave, "It doesn't matter, if you don't say it, don't say it, I will send you to prison sooner or later, goodbye."
"Goodbye?" Liu Guan laughed, "Did I let you go, little sheep?"
What do you mean by "Did I let you go?" Lu Can thought he wanted to use force, so he clenched his fists and planned to reward this old bastard with a "dinner".
The next second, he found that the problem was with himself.
He couldn't hold his hand anymore.
Lu Can realized something.He gritted his teeth and looked at Mr. Liu: "You, you fucking drug me! Where did you get the contraband!"
"Well, it's not a medicine, it's just something that makes you let go and play. Don't worry, I really like you and I won't hurt you too much." Liu Guan had a confident expression on his face.
Lu Can supported the edge of the table with both hands, making a look like he wanted to stand up but couldn't.Liu Guan admired his fragile state condescendingly for a few seconds, then bent down and stretched out his arms——
At this moment, Lu Can suddenly grabbed the red wine bottle and smashed it to the back of Liu Guan's head with all his strength. With a "click", broken glass scattered and splashed, and Liu Guan was directly opened!
Because of the high-intensity fighting training some time ago, Lu Can's physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary boys, so he was able to fight against the effects of the medicine.But now that he was at the end of his strength, he ran down the stairs while Mr. Liu was in so much pain that he couldn't straighten up.
When he arrived at the door, the waiter cast a suspicious look at him, and Lu Can had to slow down and said cryptically, "I'm going to buy some necessities."
The waiter smiled at him ambiguously, Lu Can had no time to pull the zipper of his down jacket, and walked out the door with his head down.Then walked faster and faster, walked faster and faster, turned the corner and started running!
Mr. Liu's driver was waiting at the door. He wasn't sure if the beast would lose his temper and sent the driver to kidnap him on the street.Up until now, being alive was more important than anything else, and he knew he couldn't hide it anymore.What's more, under the effect of the medicine, his whole body was as hot as being roasted on the stove, his hands and feet were sore and limp, so he had to use his last rationality to dial the string of phone numbers.
"Ji Ming... Teacher Ji..."
Hearing that his tone was wrong, Ji Mingze immediately asked, "Where are you?"
"I'm in... I don't know... it should be a development zone, there is a corner house on the left, with a clock hanging on the roof..."
"Keep on the call, don't hang up, I'm going over now."
The voice on the other end of the phone was as cold as ice, and Lu Can's body shivered involuntarily.But his consciousness has been burnt by the fire, and he doesn't understand why Teacher Ji is angry, and he doesn't know where he is. He just remembers that someone told him not to hang up the phone.
He gripped the phone hard, and dragged his limp legs to walk forward with difficulty.Not long after walking, he suddenly bumped into a strong chest.
"Mr. Ji, is it you...Help, help me, I'm so sad..."
White shirt, black suit, loose neckline, familiar pine scent... This is what Lu Can saw before closing his eyes.
