deep trap

Lu Can thought it was strange, not because the content was so strange, but because the account that sent the private message was a newly registered account.The avatar is blank, and the data column is blank.

The content is only a simple sentence: [There is a crime video at Liu Guan's home]

He clicked on the other party's homepage, trying to deduce the authenticity from the traces of life.But just for a while, the Weibo has been displayed as a logout status, obviously the account was canceled immediately after posting that sentence.

With an account that was so new that it couldn't be newer, he couldn't confirm the authenticity. He pondered for a moment, then called old Mao Zhouyan to come over and discuss it together.

It was four or ten minutes after everyone arrived, and Lu Can passed the phone to the two of them: "Look at it."

Lao Mao took the phone, patted his forehead after watching it, and suddenly realized: "Yes, how can someone like Liu Guan who loves to keep photos not take videos?"

"But how can we judge whether what this person said is true or not?" Zhou Yan stroked his long hair, "Xiao Can, have you asked?"

"Before I have time to ask, the account has been canceled."

Pin number... The three of them looked at each other and felt that it was a bit tricky.

The current situation is that they have less than ten days to make final preparations.If you bet on video and can't find anything, it's not worth the candle.

And who knows if this trumpet, which was canceled just after registration, was released by Liu Guan to deliberately divert their attention?

"Okay, let's stop thinking about it, it's useless to think about it blindly," Mao sighed, "I'll contact the police, whether it's true or not, and apply for a search warrant to search Liu Guan's house."

"We can't go to the police," Lu Can said. "Such important evidence must have been hidden by Liu Guan long ago. We have to use unconventional means."

"Unconventional?" Zhou Yan shook the snow on his clothes, "What kind of method is unconventional?"

"Find a way to make a video by yourself, and you must not startle the snake."

After a pause, Lu Can called up the phone's address book, "I'll ask my private detective friend to see if he can do anything."

With that said, Lu Can dialed that friend's phone number.After expressing his intentions, the other party couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother, I'm a private detective, not a thief! Besides, haven't you been to the complex where Liu Guan lives? The security is strict, and you can catch any thief! Burglary is subject to imprisonment, and I don't want to enter. Prison, so I'm sorry bro, I can't take this job! I advise you to do crooked ways, and you should find the police, ah."

Lu Can said he got it, and after the call ended, he realized how bad the so-called "unconventional means" were.After studying for more than 20 years, I was still legally illiterate.

He turned on the speakerphone, and the other two also heard the call.Maybe because they have encountered too many difficult things recently, they didn't even scold their mothers or something, so they naturally accepted the bad results.

"Well," Lao Mao said, "Let's prepare with both hands. I'll find out if there are any experts who can sneak into Liu Guan's house on my side; Yanzi will continue to follow up, and keep an eye on that kid Qin Nan by the way, so don't let him do bad things; Keep an eye on Weibo, always pay attention to private mailboxes, and let us know as soon as there is any new news.”

Lu Can nodded: "Okay."

Zhou Yan came in the face of heavy snow, because the shirt inside was accidentally wet by the melted snow because of the short coat he was wearing.Before leaving, Lao Mao nagged him to change his clothes so as not to catch a cold when he went out.

Lu Can and Zhou Yan are about the same size, and they can wear each other's clothes.Hearing this, Lu Can turned his head and shouted, "Mr. Ji, are you in the master bedroom?"

"No, I'm in the boxing room, what's the matter?"

"It's okay——" Lu Can turned back again, "Brother Yanzi, I'm too lazy to look for it, you can get it from my closet by yourself."

Zhou Yan made a "tsk" sound, scanned the direction of the boxing room with ambiguous eyes, then scanned Lu Can, and went to the master bedroom.

Since Qin Yuanyuan passed away, the three of Bo Yuan met almost every day, and every time they met, Ji Mingze stayed by Lu Can's side.Old Mao Zhouyan could realize that something was wrong with them, but he didn't ask.

When Zhou Yan walked away, Lao Mao lowered his voice and said seriously: "Xiao Can, I don't have so much energy to take care of you now, but you have always been a measured person. I have two requirements for you: First, you can , Treat people well, and don’t play with the feelings of honest people. Second, you must protect yourself and don’t get hurt again. I’ve said these two points before, can you do it?”

It's been said before...

That's right, Lao Mao did say it.

Lu Can was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that after Lao Mao finished speaking in winter, he had made a decision to stay away from Teacher Ji.As a result, now he not only slept with and kissed Teacher Ji, but also left that decision behind him, completely forgetting about it.

...How did you forget all about it? !

"We have no one." Lu Can rubbed his cheeks, his words were a little out of order, "It's just... I need to take care of me. Recently, he came to help me."

Having worked hard in the workplace for several years, Lao Mao has long understood the principle of "seeing the truth but not telling the truth".He smiled and didn't take this nonsense seriously.

Of course, he didn't expose Lu Can. There are some things that need to be understood by oneself. It is useless to talk too much. It depends on God's will, epiphany, and fate.

"Xiao Can."

At this time, Zhou Yan suddenly walked over with a box, "Who gave it to you?"

Oops, how could I forget this!

Lu Can's temples twitched suddenly - after returning from the rental house, he hid the scarf Qin Yuanyuan knitted in the closet, and was going to hand it over to Zhou Yan after the case was closed.The log that happened to be submitted to the police cut off the parts that were not relevant to the case and could be concealed for a period of time.

Unexpectedly, it was revealed in the end, so Lu Can had no choice but to tell the truth: "It's the scarf that Yuanmeier promised to give us. I was afraid that you would think about others, so I never gave it to you."

Lao Mao, including Zhou Yan himself, knew that he was impulsive. Zhou Yan didn't blame Lu Can, held the box in his arms, and gently opened the lid.

The moment he saw the big red scarf lying inside, his arms trembled visibly.Lao Mao couldn't bear it, and patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder: "The original intention of her weaving the scarf is to make you happy."

"Well... I'm very happy."

Zhou Yan looked at the scarf for a while, and then closed the lid very gently and slowly.When he raised his head again, a strange determination flashed in his eyes, "Let's go."

After sending them out of the house, Lu Can received an unexpected call.

It was Qin Nan calling.

Since the trial of the case started, Lao Mao asked Zhou Yan to watch the kid in order not to cause him any trouble.According to Zhou Yan, that kid was really honest and didn't do anything wrong.

"Brother Can," Qin Nan asked, "Have you found any new evidence?"

Lu Can did not expect that he would come to care about the progress of the case.To be honest, he was not very worried about Qin Nan, afraid that this guy would take money to help find out the news, so he said vaguely, "I haven't found it, and the situation is very stalemate now."

Qin Nan didn't quite understand the meaning of "stuck", so she said "oh", "I'm going to lose the lawsuit?" Lu Can could hear a bit of dryness in his tone, "What should I do then? It's only a few days away. "

"We are looking for it seriously, wait until we have a clue to tell you." Lu Can said very carelessly, Qin Nan probably knew that Lu Can was perfunctory him, hesitated for a few seconds, and did not continue to ask.

After dismissing Qin Nan, Lu Can started to stare at Weibo again. Miraculously, Zhou Yan didn't catch a cold in his half-wet shirt. That afternoon, he felt dizzy, his nose was blocked, and his throat was dry and sore.

Ji Mingze coaxed the person to the bed, and took his temperature. Good guy, it's 38 degrees five!

Fortunately, there were antipyretics at home. Ji Mingze rushed to An Ruike and asked Lu Can, "Can I sit up and drink it by myself?"

Lu Can's whole body was sore from burning, and even the seams of his bones felt like pinpricks.He propped up one arm, and was about to force himself to sit up, when he suddenly remembered that Ji Mingze had said not long ago, "Don't try to be brave", and lay back down with peace of mind, "No, if you can't get up, you feed me."

Ji Mingze put a pillow on the back of Lu Can's neck, sat by the bed and fed him cold medicine one spoonful at a time.

After finishing drinking, Ji Mingze got up with an empty bowl, and just as he took a step out, Lu Can shouted hoarsely, "Mr. Ji, where are you going?"

"Go to the kitchen to make porridge," Ji Mingze replied, "Lie down for a while."

"Don't go, make some porridge," Lu Can closed his eyes, his face was flushed red.He rubbed against the inside of the bed and lifted the quilt, "I'm not hungry, let's go to sleep, I'm so cold sleeping alone."

It's just four o'clock in the afternoon, neither nap time nor normal sleep time, this person is probably burnt out.Ji Mingze didn't expect that the boy who usually looks independent would be so clingy when he got sick, so he reluctantly went to bed and slept with him.

But although Lu Can was clingy, he didn't make trouble. After Ji Mingze lay down, he seemed to find a heat source, put his head on Ji Mingze's shoulder, bent himself into a ball of shrimp, and quickly fell asleep.

This sleep was uncomfortable, and in the dream I was tired, worried, and anxious.

Because the Lu family was so well protected, Lu Can hadn't experienced a few major incidents since he was a child, and his numbness during the day was actually a bit hit by not being able to get the video.Coupled with running around during this period of time, the level of fatigue reached a critical point, and the body's instinctive adaptation gave a natural response to a cold and fever.

I don't know how long he slept, but his stomach started to growl, and his stomach was very empty. He stretched out his hand and pushed the people around him: "I'm so hungry, go and get something to eat."

There was a rustling sound, and then there was a large space on the side, which also took away most of the heat.Feeling that the quilt was getting colder, Lu Can rubbed the pillow and opened his eyes wearily.

... Fuck, I accidentally mistook Teacher Ji for Duan Yuyang again!

Recently, he seldom thinks of Duan Yuyang. Just now, he thought of Duan Yuyang probably because of his instinctive reaction after being ill.Lu Can glanced at the time, it was [-]:[-] in the morning, and felt that Teacher Ji would not really cook in the middle of the night, so he hurriedly got up and opened the bedroom door——

In the kitchen, Ji Mingze was pinching the cigarette with one hand and holding the spatula in the other, and the range hood was turned on to the minimum gear.

Afraid of waking himself up, he moved very lightly, almost making no sound when the kitchen utensils collided.So in front of Lu Can's eyes, this picture zoomed in and out, and it was frozen into a silent movie, making people dazzled again and again.

Forget it, that decision... Just pretend that you haven't made it, Lu Can thought.

He seemed to be inseparable from Teacher Ji.

Chapter 30 Tracking "...It's over, Xiaocan," Zhou Yan said with a pale face, "You've... been involved."

The high fever lasted for three days and then subsided. When he regained consciousness, Lu Can hurriedly contacted Lao Mao.

Lao Mao was probably driving, and could vaguely hear the sound of car horns and tires rolling over the ground, "Hey, Xiao Can, are you feeling better?"

"It's much better," Lu Can said, "how is it, have you made any progress?"

"Hey, you've been sick for the past few days. I didn't tell you because you were in a hurry. Xiao Mao also went to the hospital with a fever—about the same day as you. I just got out of the hospital and I'm going to visit a lockpicker introduced by a friend. "

The craftsman could only be responsible for unlocking the lock, Lu Can couldn't help being a little anxious, "The person who sneaked into Liu Guan's house to steal the video..."

"Don't worry, I've found someone who has just come out of it, has no worries, and will dare to do anything as long as the money is in place."

"Is it reliable?"

Lao Mao smiled wryly, "Xiao Can, we don't have time to think about whether it's reliable or not."

Yes, they do run out of time.The case is about to be sentenced, and they have no choice but to fight with their backs.

Lu Can's shoulders drooped weakly, he paused for a few seconds, and asked again: "Brother Yanzi, is Qin Nan doing well? He called me two days ago to ask about the progress of the case. I don't know if it's true. I am concerned, but I still want to find out the news for someone.”

"After leaving your house, I haven't contacted Yanzi because I'm busy with Xiaomao. If Qin Nan is not honest, he will tell us. Don't worry, take a good rest."

Take a good rest... If he hadn't fallen ill suddenly, Lao Mao wouldn't be so tired from running around, and the situation might not be so passive.

This broken body, if you don't get sick sooner or later, why do you have to get sick at this juncture!Lu Can hammered his thigh hard, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt like an asshole.

After hanging up the phone, he walked around the bed a few times, still a little worried about Qin Nan.

That kid has a lot of eyes, even when his sister's body is in front of him, he can bargain without changing his face.Their chances of winning are already very low now, and they must not make other mistakes to make things worse.

No, I have to ask Zhou Yan.

Lu Can called up the address book and pressed dial.Can dial again, no one answered.Dial twice, still no answer.

In the past, Zhou Yan would often not answer the phone when he was fooling around with all kinds of Internet celebrities, but now he should not have the energy to go out fooling around, why can't he be contacted?During this time, he has been answering the phone in seconds.

Afraid of accidents—mainly to prevent Qin Nan, Lu Can went to Lao Mao and told him about the situation.Lao Mao pondered for a few seconds: "You can tell, Yuanmei'er's scarf is quite a blow to Yanzi. I guess she is sleeping after drinking a lot of wine. I will try to hit it a few times later."

"I'm also calling here," Lu Can said, "Contact me anytime."

"Well, okay."

That night, according to the agreement with Lao Mao, the two took turns calling Zhou Yan.The strange thing is that, just like during the day, the phone didn't shut down, and I didn't hear a prompt similar to poor signal, but no one answered it all the time.

Lu Can was a little worried, and countless images flashed in his mind like a small movie - Zhou Yan lived alone, and he was the only one at home. What if he got alcoholic?What should I do if my feet slipped in the shower, my head hit the bathtub accidentally and I fainted?What if you accidentally ran into a burglary and cut him down at home?

Taking a step back, Qin Nan was willing to sue Liu Guan only under the intimidation of Ji Mingze.What if Qin Nan turned his back on him and gave Zhou Yan some sleeping pills to escape?

Unable to think any more, Lu Can grabbed the car keys and said hurriedly, "I'll just go over there and see what's going on with him."

"In the middle of the night, the swallow may have already fallen asleep," Lao Mao stopped, "Don't mess around, if you are really worried, go and have a look tomorrow morning, we will not miss this night."

That's right, Wan Zhouyan is really thinking about people when he sees things, and he is so drunk that he can't knock on the door when he goes there, and it is easy to disturb the rest of the neighbors.

"Okay, then I'll go tomorrow morning."

Probably thinking about Zhou Yan, Lu Can woke up early the next day.

It was just dawn outside, and the clouds looked gray, which made people unable to lift their spirits.Lu Can yawned, thinking that there must be heavy snow again today, and he should go out quickly before the snow started to avoid traffic jams.

Afraid of infecting Teacher Ji with a cold, Lu Can did not sleep with Ji Mingze for the past three days.He walked out of the bedroom and found that the door to the side bedroom next door was closed.Lie on the door and listened for a while, it was very quiet inside, occasionally there was the sound of turning over - Mr. Ji probably wasn't awake yet.

Recently, his illness has made Teacher Ji tormented enough. In addition to being responsible for three meals a day, he often touches his room in the middle of the night to take his temperature. Today, he finally got up early one day, so let Teacher Ji get a full night's sleep.

Lu Can tidied herself softly, took her phone and wallet and tiptoed out the door.

Zhou Yan's residence is not far from his home, in a single apartment.Lu Can was too lazy to drive, so he directly waved for a taxi.

The car was parked outside a short alley, and across the alley was Zhou Yan's apartment.Now it's time for breakfast, and several breakfast stalls are scattered on both sides of the alley. The cries of "Big Fried Fried Tiao", "Fat Sister Fried Cake", and "Seed Cake Tofu Brain" mixed with hot air rushed to people's bodies and drilled into people's noses. After being sick for a few days, Lu Can was finally pulled away by the fireworks. Back to the world.

When passing the fried dough sticks stand, Lu Can ordered three or two fried dough sticks and a cup of soy milk.I thought in my heart: I will leave these to Brother Yanzi, and I will come over to buy more after I finish.As long as there is no traffic jam on the road and the plastic bag is opened, the fritters should still be crispy when he gets home, and he will still have time to have breakfast with Mr. Ji.

Does Teacher Ji like fried dough sticks?Not sure, he rarely sees Teacher Ji revealing what he likes or dislikes. That person seems to have no desires, and he treats everything with indifferent emotions.

Maybe honest people are like this. Even if they have desires, they hide them in the deepest part and don't let outsiders know about them.

So he should treat Mr. Ji better, um.

Thinking wildly, Lu Can scanned the QR code and paid eight yuan and thirty cents.Picking up the bag and preparing to continue to the bachelor apartment, I suddenly found a very familiar figure not far in front of me.

Ankle-length down jacket, a short ponytail tied casually, and a sloppy walking posture—isn’t it Zhou Yan? !

Before coming, in order to confirm that Zhou Yanqi hadn't gotten up, he called again.The result was the same as yesterday, no one answered.

The co-author doesn't have time to look at his phone, but he has time to hang out in the morning market!Lu Can was inevitably angry, so he speeded up, ready to catch up and ask him.

I don't know if he heard the wrong voice behind him, Zhou Yan's figure paused for a moment, and then he walked quickly.

Lu Can felt that his reaction was weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, because he couldn't scream because his throat was bad due to the cold, so he could only continue to speed up and change to a trot all the way.

As a result, Zhou Yan walked even faster, and finally ran!

He didn't run in the direction of the bachelor apartment, but got into another alley.Lu Can turned the corner with him, and then there was a "crash", and his back felt cold - the plastic bag containing breakfast was knocked over to the ground, and he was also pressed against his chest and pushed against the wall!

"Don't fucking follow... Xiaocan?"

"Fuck...let go, ahem," Lu Can coughed violently, "If you don't let go, I'm going to be crushed to death by you!"

"...Sorry." Zhou Yan let go of his hand immediately.

He didn't see his face just now, but when Lu Can recovered, he realized that the man in front of him looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes that couldn't be opened, as if he had just fought eight days and seven nights with eight internet celebrities.

He frowned and said, "Brother Yanzi, you..."

"Don't talk yet," Zhou Yan looked around, lowered his voice, with a serious expression, "Xiao Can, why are you here?"

"I see that you haven't answered the phone all the time, for fear of accidents, so..."

"You shouldn't have come," Zhou Yan's voice was lower, almost breathless, "It's still too late to go now. Go, don't contact me again!"

Speaking of this, Lu Can could already guess that Zhou Yan was in trouble.They have been playing together since high school, how could Lu Can really leave on his own, regardless of his brother's safety, since they have been brothers for more than ten years?

"Brother Yanzi, tell me what happened, and I will think of a way for you."

"Hey..." Zhou Yan couldn't help but sighed.He knew Lu Can's character, and knew that Lu Can was not the kind of person who would take care of himself alone, so he squatted on the ground, took out the straw from the plastic bag, and pricked open the soy milk cup.

"On the night I returned from your house, I went to the hotel to see Qin Nan as usual. After dinner, he suddenly asked me if it was true that brother Can said that the case had not progressed. Because we didn't believe him, I told him it was true. No new evidence has been found."

"After hearing this, he immediately became anxious. He said that there were only a few days left before the sentencing, and he could not delay any longer. He asked me if there was anything he could do to help. I suddenly remembered that he had been in Bincheng for so many years, and he was best at Isn't it just stealing chickens and dogs..."

It turned out that the moment he got Qin Yuanyuan's scarf, Zhou Yan had secretly made up his mind that he must get the video to seek justice for Qin Yuanyuan.

At the beginning, his idea was the same as that of Lao Mao, he wanted to find a habitual thief who had been in the palace a few times and didn't care about going to jail to steal videos.In the end, before anyone could be contacted, Qin Nan bumped into him by himself.

Zhou Yan was worried about Qin Nan, so he decided to go to Liu Guan's house with Qin Nan, and the two cooperated internally and externally.It happened that there was a fan of the Mis band who lived in the same community as Liu Guan, so he asked the fan to let them into the community, and lurked opposite Liu Guan's house, always paying attention to the situation there.

After waiting until the afternoon, they finally found a time when Liu Guan and Li Ailing were not at home.Qin Nan took out his lifelong skills to pry open the vent in Liu Guan's kitchen.Not to mention, I don't know if the couple were careless or what, the small camera and memory card were locked in the drawer of Li Ailing's dressing table.

Qin Nan was overjoyed, grabbed those two things and ran away.As a result, both reasonable and unexpected, an alarm system was installed on Li Ailing's dresser.The servants and housekeeper who were resting in the servant's room heard the siren and immediately notified Li Ailing, took out a stick and beat Qin Nan violently!

Before being completely subdued, Qin Nan used his last strength and threw the device and memory card to Zhou Yan through the window.After Li Ailing came back, she quickly locked Zhou Yan through the video of the property, and found several bodyguards who were like thugs to look at Zhou Yan and demanded that the things must be taken back.

Lu Can was stunned: "The current situation is..."

"Those people searched my house secretly, but they didn't find them. I've already hidden the device somewhere else," Zhou Yan bit his straw, his voice was a little vague, "So they kept following me, and they were going to wait for me to pick up the things. Time to grab it."

"What about Qin Nan?"

"It fell into the hands of Li Meiling. Li Meiling told me that if I dared to submit the video to the prosecutor, she would make Qin Nan disappear from this world forever. Anyway, it is not a pity for a gangster to die, she is rich and powerful , you can find a scapegoat to do it," Zhou Yan smiled wryly, "That's why I haven't dared to call the police until now."

Lu Can suddenly understood why Zhou Yan kept letting him go—if he got involved in this matter, with Li Meiling's means, maybe he would send someone to follow him or even kidnap him and torture him to extract a confession.Zhou Yan was afraid that he and Lao Mao would be watched, so he didn't answer the phone, and he didn't dare to meet them, choosing to deal with Li Meiling silently by himself.

I didn't expect that no matter how low Liu Guan's tricks were, it would be just sex. His wife is a ruthless person!

"If Li Meiling finds out that we have met, she will definitely suspect that I told you where I hid my things. Xiaocan, Brother Suanyan, please leave me alone and continue to follow up the case. I will definitely hold it when the court opens. The evidence is past!"

Lu Can also knew that it was useless to stay, so he went back to find an opportunity to communicate with the police, maybe he could find a good way to keep the video and rescue Qin Nan.

He whispered "Be careful yourself", turned his head and left, when a black shadow suddenly swayed by the alley.

"...It's over, Xiaocan," Zhou Yan's face turned pale, "You've... been involved."
