Everything starts with meeting Ⅲ

As the saying goes: La Qi La Ba freezes your jaw.In the few days before the new year, the weather has become abnormally warm, and many people have stepped out of their homes, thinking of buying new year's goods early in these warm days.

The streets are crowded with people, and I don't know where these crazy purchasers hide in the corner on weekdays. They have all come out these few days, making the major shopping malls look like a sweltering summer.

Wentang was ordered by his mother to buy a set of SKⅡ for his fiancée.Ever since he quit his job and was idle at home, his mother had thought of getting him married.Wen Tang didn't care about his marriage at all, even when his parents got engaged for him, he didn't object because he didn't know the woman.For him, marriage is just a necessary process in life.

Wen Tang, who is 32 years old this year, has never thought of getting married early. If he hadn't resigned because of his own initiative, he might have delayed his marriage for a few years.He used to be very busy and had excuses, but now he is at home, so he had to promise his mother to get married as soon as possible.

Wentang's fiancée is also a good girl from a political family, but in Wentang's opinion, this girl is a bit too good.On the few dates the girl was even shy about holding hands.Wentang thinks he is quite funny, why does his fiancée always look like the flower of Gaoling?

Mother said it was because you spent too little time together, so take this opportunity to date more and coax people more.No, early in the morning, Wentang was sent out by his mother to buy gifts, and even what gifts to buy was stipulated for him.Wentang had no choice but to run to the mall.

He never knew that a set of cosmetics cost 5000 yuan. Can such a wife afford it in the future?Wen Tang shook his head with a wry smile, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and squeezed out of the flood-like crowd.

Walking out of the shopping mall, Wentang felt refreshed by the slightly cold wind.I don't want to wear the coat as long as it hangs on my arm, and I stroll in the middle of the pedestrian street, enjoying the coming to an end of my single time.

Passing by a coffee shop, Wen Tang was about to go in and have a cup of coffee to rest, when he suddenly heard the exclamation of many people in the distance!Many people, like Wentang, turned their heads to look at the source of the sound, and saw a lot of people gathered under a tall building, all raising their heads high, looking at something and discussing something.Of course, Wentang also raised his head.

Because the building was too high, he only saw a person standing on the top of the building.Is this going to jump off a building?Wen Tang frowned, not wanting to join in the fun.Judging from the number of microcosmic people, that person seemed to have been standing on the roof for a long time. From his point of view, that person might not want to die.

The moment Wen Tang turned around and pushed open the door of the coffee shop, the exclamation in the distance suddenly became ear-piercing, and he hurriedly turned his head.The man on the roof was gone, and the crowd downstairs also dispersed at an extremely fast speed.

really jumped! ?

Many people ran towards the building, Wentang thought for a while before walking slowly with the crowd.Walking along the way, I heard many people talking.

"Why did another one die?"

"Yes. I read on the news that one committed suicide last week. How many suicides have there been in the past two months?"

"Let's say there are five or six."

Some strangers also had a common topic at this time, talking about it in a hurry.Wen Tang quickened his pace and followed these people, listening to them continue: "The man who committed suicide last week is still rich. I heard that his wife just gave birth to twins, tsk tsk, what a pity. I can't think about anything, but I want to seek death."

Wentang's footsteps stopped abruptly.

There are many reasons why a person does not want to live in this world.Having a terminal illness and not wanting to drag his family down, living in poverty like years, being emotionally frustrated and having nothing to love... In short, a person who commits suicide must have his reasons for not wanting to live.However, it is strange that there are five or six suicides in a row within a few months.

He took out his phone and found Situ's number in the phone book. At this moment, he smiled self-deprecatingly.Is it true that I have known Situ for a long time, so I have become suspicious?With a short sigh, Wen Tang turned around and changed direction.

Leaving the bustling but embarrassing commercial street, Wen Tang rushed to the meeting place with his fiancée.The girl has already arrived, and she is sitting upright, very dignified.Wen Tang smiled elegantly, "Sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay, I'm early. Please sit down."

After walking all the way, Wentang's face was flushed, and he looked a little more vigorous, and he was no longer the strict secretary Wen.Rolling up his sleeves, he looked for topics, and said, "There are a lot of people on the street today, is there any traffic jam on the road?"

"It's okay." He Xiaoyue put her hands on the table in a dignified manner, and she could tell at a glance that she was a well-bred girl.

Wen Tang asked the waiter to give him a cup of coffee, and handed the gift to He Xiaoyue, "I just bought it, I hope you like it."

"Thank you." She nodded steadily, and gave Wentang a faint smile, "It cost you money. How much? I'll pay you back."

Want to pay back?Wen Tang said that this is a gift, how can the gift be paid for?He Xiaoyue smiled reservedly, and only said: We are not married after all, so it is not good to accept such an expensive gift from you before marriage.I still have to give the money, otherwise my mother will scold me for being uneducated.

Suddenly, Wentang felt very boring.He didn't expect to have a vigorous love, and he never thought about finding a girlfriend who could act coquettishly and willfully with him.But at least, he won't haggle over every detail.What should I say about my fiancée?Are you well educated at home?still……

When distracted, Wentang thought of Situ and Lin Yao.Remember how they got along.For some reason, when he looked at the beautiful and well-behaved He Xiaoyue in front of him, Wen Tang felt dull.

He Xiaoyue didn't notice Wentang's distraction, and talked about their marriage and the conditions of her natal family.One by one is clear and reasonable, and there is nothing wrong with it.But listening to it, Wen Tang didn't know where his attention went...

When the phone rang, the girl immediately shut up and said, "You answer the phone first."

Wen Tang smiled, "Sorry."

Seeing that Wentang didn't intend to get up and leave, He Xiaoyue excused himself to go to the bathroom to avoid his phone conversation.Seeing the caller ID, Wen Tang's mood became brighter. He smiled and asked, "Why did you remember to call me? I'm an ordinary person now." "I can't call you if I have nothing to do?" On the phone, Situ called Hee-hop, "Let's get together at night, come to Yeats' restaurant."

"I'm free right now."

"Yes, come here now. Ye Ci has good tea here."

He hung up the phone, and waited for his fiancée to come back and tell her that he was busy.He Xiaoyue was reasonable and asked the waiter to pay the bill, AA system.Can Wentang let her make AA system?She simply paid the bill without arguing with him.Just say that you can go home by yourself, and you don't need to send it.

Wen Tang personally sent the girl to the parking lot, and watched her car go away before turning around and leaving.

When we arrived at Kou Doulao, only Situ and Ye Ci were there.Wen Tang has met Ye Ci several times, so they are considered familiar.Because of Wei Yi's case, Ye Ci admired Wen Tang very much, and also had the intention of being close friends.It just so happened that Situ was free and had nothing to do, so he called Wen Tang.Hearing that Wentang was idle, Ye Ci asked Situ to invite someone directly.

A pot of good tea, three good men, staring at the young man who came in to deliver the bill.Situ watched the young man go out with a red face, and teased Ye Ci, "How dare you make trouble? Xiao Tang is not jealous?"

"You think too much." Ye Ci rolled his eyes in disapproval, and continued to sip his tea.

It was not enough to tease Ye Ci, Situ looked at Wentang with a smirk on his face, "I heard you are getting married?"

Hearing this, Wen Tang was taken aback, "How do you know?"

"Your brother said that."

"My brother? When did you get in touch?"

This is a bit complicated to say.After the Wei Yi case was solved, Xiao Xinlun was hit hard, and his whole body was depressed.In order to cheer him up, Wen Zong found Wen Yuchen and asked Wen Yuchen to accompany Xiao Xinlun.but!Huo Liang refused to let him go, so Wenzong had no choice but to discuss with Situ.After going back and forth, the two were quite right-tempered, and they became friends.

With the topic of Wen Tang's upcoming wedding, the three chatted enthusiastically, and even decided that the wedding banquet would definitely be held in Kou Doulao.However, Situ felt a little weird, "Wentang, why don't you look happy at all?"

Wen Tang laughed and said, "It's just marriage, what are you happy about?"

Whoops, that looks interesting.The bad water in Situ's stomach was boiling and bubbling, and Wentang's face turned red after a few words.In order not to let Situ continue to run on him, Wentang brought up the incident of someone jumping off a building today.

Ye Ci's face changed, "Is suicide very popular recently?"

Wentang followed suit, "I heard that there are already five or six people. Situ, what do you think?"

Dont look at me!I don't even have time to hide from such troublesome things, so how can I think about and analyze them?However, it is undeniable that Situ also felt that this matter was strange.

The topic of suicide stopped here, and Wentang deliberately prevented Situ from thinking about his marriage.Not long after, Lin Yao and Tang Shuo came, and they were a little surprised to see Wentang when they entered.Tang Shuo, on the other hand, chatted and joked with Wentang happily, so it could be seen that they were familiar with each other.

Situ asked Lin Yao, why didn't the two younger ones come?Didn't we agree to have a party tonight?Lin Yao rolled his eyes directly, and said, "I don't know where Liangzi took Yuchen, and I haven't seen anyone in the morning. Yuchen sent me a text message in the afternoon, saying that the two of them will not be coming back tonight. Zuo Kun and Shao An went to see Xiao Nizi in F city, but she couldn't come; Jiang Yu and Zixi had to wait a little later."

Ye Ci suggested that instead of waiting for Jiang Yu and Zixi, go to the private room now.

It was around 07:30 when Liao Jiangyu rushed over with Zhai Zixi.Zhai Zixi seemed to be famished, he didn't say a word for a long time and was just busy eating.Ye Ci and Wentang are people who talk less, they only listen to other people's chats.After eating and drinking at ten o'clock, Situ discussed with his little ancestor, "Leave me for a while, and Ye Ci and I will take Wentang out to relax."

Lin Yao rolled his eyes at him, "Are you looking for an excuse to go out for a drink?"

"Don't lose face, I promise to go home before two o'clock."

Lin Yao was overjoyed, and held Situ's hand generously, rubbing it in his palm habitually.Situ was also used to it, letting Lin Yao play with his hands.In Wen Tang's eyes, the interaction between them was different.

This kind of behavior, my fiancée can't live and die.Admittedly, he was a little envious.

After the dinner was over, Liao Jiangyu was also dragged to drink.Zhai Zixi ignored him, and went home with Tang Shuo. Lin Yao left one step ahead of them, thinking about the bathtub at home, returning home like an arrow.

Ye Ci, Jiang Yu, including Situ and Wentang, found a bar near Kou Doulao, ordered drinks, and continued to chat and drink.Situ saw that Wentang didn't raise his glass very much, so he said to him: "You have no official and a light body, what are you still worried about? Open up and drink today. If you drink too much, I will take you home to sleep."

Wen Tang couldn't help laughing, "Do you think I don't have a few good days?"

"Marriage is a matter, there are good and bad." Situ began to popularize science, "It feels really good to have someone who knows how to love you. But you have to take care of your family and your wife all the time, and do whatever you want It’s impossible. So, before you’re locked in, hurry up and do something wrong.” As he spoke, he put his arm around Wen Tang’s shoulder and asked in a low voice, “How long has it been since you started eating meat?”

Wen Tang reminded, dumbfounded, "Situ, I have a fiancée."

"Don't tease me! If you have premarital sex with your fiancée, I'll cut out your eyeballs as a gift for you."

Wen Tang smiled and said that he would not dare to ask for such a congratulatory gift.Situ climbed along the pole, teasing Wentang to indulge before the wedding, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, he must let himself have a good time, right?There's nothing wrong with running amok, don't make yourself so depressed.

Only then did Wentang see Situ's intentions.This person is worried about himself, but the way of comforting him seems to be a little special, a little violent.Although he also knows that it is good to vent occasionally, unfortunately, men from the Wen family don't have the capital to do anything wrong.

Liao Jiangyu expressed his contempt for Situ instigating honest children to make mistakes!It was Ye Ci who uncharacteristically supported Situ, but there are many ways to relax, and it is not necessary to go to that or that...

"I heard from Situ that you like antiques?" Ye Ci seldom opened his mouth, and Wentang's interest was captured when he opened his mouth.

Wentang nodded, "I developed a habit with my father when I was young."

"Come to my house tomorrow."

Liao Jiangyu and Situ immediately expressed that they wanted to go too, but Ye Ci ignored them at all.After pouring Wentang a glass of wine, Wentang looked at Ye Ci in surprise.

Ye Ci seldom took the initiative to want to make friends with anyone, but for Wen Tang, Ye Ci had a temper with him.Unlike Situ, Intuit!

After some joking, the three of them chatted more and more speculatively, and soon bottomed out after a dozen drinks.Wen Tang felt dissatisfied, and while beckoning the waiter to continue to refill the wine, he took out the phone that started to buzz and vibrate.

It's almost one o'clock, who's calling?Seeing that the number actually belonged to his family, it probably belonged to his mother.Wentang instinctively realized that there was probably something urgent at home, so he left the wine table and went to answer the phone.

The mother complained to him as soon as she opened her mouth, "Why don't you accompany Xiaoyue in the afternoon?"

"Mom, is there anything wrong with calling so late?"

"Something happened to Xiaoyue."

she?What could happen to her with her temperament of not going out of the door?

The mother said that after Xiaoyue and Wentang left the coffee shop in the afternoon, they received a call from the company and went to the boss's house to pick up a very important design drawing.Unexpectedly, the boss died at home.

"and then?"

"You child! Xiaoyue encountered such a big event, why are you not in a hurry?"

Should he be in a hurry?Wen Tang took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Mom, what do you want me to do?"

"The problem is very troublesome." The mother said: "Xiaoyue called the police, but the police haven't let Xiaoyue go home."

These few words aroused Wen Tang's interest, he smiled and said, "Did Uncle He arrange for someone to go?"

"I went, but the police wouldn't let me go."

ha?With Uncle He's status, the police still don't want to lose face?Or: That case was tricky...

Before Wen Tang could think about it, his mother had already told him to rush to the police station as soon as possible.Even if Xiaoyue can't be asked to come out, the He family can't make a fuss about etiquette.

Back at the wine table, Wen Tang sighed helplessly, explained the situation, and asked Situ by the way: "Do you know anyone in the North City Branch?"

Situ said, "I don't know him well, but Xiaoyao does."

Wen Tang didn't ask any more questions.The well-known provincial party committee organization ministers have no one to show up, so the others are even more useless.Forget it, let's just take a walk.

"I'll go with you." Situ took the initiative to ask Ying, and Wentang didn't allow him to refuse.Ye Ci and Liao Jiangyu didn't take this seriously, they just said to drink for a while and go home.

In this way, Situ accompanied Wentang to the branch office in the north of the city.On the way, Situ still called Lin Yao.

It was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night when we arrived at the branch office. As soon as we entered the yard, we saw the He family's car.Wen Tang explained to Situ that Minister He probably wouldn't come here in person at such a late hour, and that the person guarding here was probably He Xiaoyue's elder brother, He Xiaofeng.This person is 32 years old, and like Liao Jiangyu, he is a lawyer.

He Xiaofeng...

Situ smiled, "I've seen him before, he's a pretty fucked up guy."

Wen Tang also laughed, "This world is still a little smaller."

After talking to the police officer on duty, Wentang found out that He Xiaofeng had been invited into the office of the criminal police team, and he was talking to the captain.As for why He Xiaoyue was not released, the police officer on duty shrugged and said, "I don't know."

Wentang called He Xiaofeng and said that he was at the reception with a friend.Soon, He Xiaofeng ran out and saw that Wentang's nose was not his nose and his face was not his face.Situ was smoking on the bench next to him, especially not wanting to see He Xiaofeng complaining about Wentang.He Xiaofeng probably didn't see him, and only said some implicit "accusations" to Wen Tang.

Situ bit his mouth, tilted his head, put his hands in his trouser pockets, got up lazily, walked behind Wen Tang, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Lawyer He."

He Xiaofeng was taken aback.He looked at Situ with half-closed eyes, and after a while, he widened his eyes in surprise and pointed at Situ, "You...you are Situ Qianye!"

"still remember me?"

He Xiaofeng thought to himself: I really don't want to remember you!

It is certain that He Xiaofeng does not want to see Situ, and Lian Wentang can see this.However, he also saw hope in He Xiaofeng's eyes. Perhaps He Xiaofeng understood Situ's ability, and the tension and disgust just now were fleeting. At this moment, he has shown an extremely enthusiastic attitude towards Situ.

"It's great to meet you!" He Xiaofeng stepped in front of Situ, "You have to help my sister."

Wen Tang thought it was funny.He Xiaofeng didn't even ask how he and Situ met, he just wanted to ask Situ to help.Situ took a step back calmly, avoiding He Xiaofeng's excessive enthusiasm, and then he looked at Wentang, "First understand the situation before we talk."

"Yes, yes, go to the captain's office to talk. Their captain is also there."

He Xiaofeng completely ignored Wentang, and only greeted Situ warmly.Wen Tang didn't care, and followed behind them, looking at ease.

It is really unlucky to say that the captain of the criminal investigation team of the sub-bureau is really unlucky.The eldest son of the head of the organization came, and he had to stay with him here. Who told the director to order He Xiaoyue not to be released.In the final analysis, these people at the grassroots level are the most pitiful.Look, this brought in the former secretary-general again. Isn't this killing me?

"Tell me, why don't you let him go." Even if he lost his official position, the aura he had cultivated over the years was still intimidating enough.Just this one sentence was enough for He Xiaofeng to grind his mouth for three or four hours.

The team leader said: "The specific situation cannot be disclosed. We are not trying to prevent her from being released. We just asked He Xiaoyue to learn more about the situation, and we will personally send her home tomorrow afternoon."

Originally, Wentang wanted to ask a few more questions, but unexpectedly, He Xiaofeng said on the spot: "My friend can be regarded as your colleague with rich experience. If possible, I hope you can tell him about the situation. Afterwards, I will take his advice."

no!How did you get me involved?Situ didn't accept it well, and secretly glanced at Wentang, who smiled lightly and said nothing, unable to tell what was going on in his heart.The captain who had passively heard Situ's name was very surprised.

The captain patted the table, suddenly realized: "Lin Yao is talking about you, right? Situ."

It seems that Xiaoyao has communicated with the captain.Forget it, it's all about helping Wentang.Situ nodded and said, "We won't make excessive demands."

"Okay. For Lin Yao's sake, say it."

"One, I want to know why you are holding on to He Xiaoyue."

Obviously, the captain was a little bit embarrassed, but finally he was willing to say, "The time of death is 15:30 pm. We found a courier package at the scene of the crime, and we learned through inspection and monitoring that the courier entered the unit building where the deceased was located at 15:20 He Xiaoyue called the police at 15:35. According to the neighbor of the deceased, he was by the side when He Xiaoyue called the police, and He Xiaoyue called the police at the door of the building."

"Which floor did the deceased live on?"

"The seventh floor. Coincidentally, the community has no water or electricity this afternoon."

Hearing this, Situ frowned.He Xiaofeng couldn't understand the mystery here, so he just asked: "What's abnormal? The person died at 15:30, and my sister called the police at 15:35."

Wentang ignored He Xiaofeng, leaned slightly closer to Situ, and asked in a low voice, "Is there a problem?"

司徒点点头，朗声道：“停电的话电梯就不能用，只能爬楼梯。一个女孩走楼梯到七楼怎么说也要两3分钟的时间。我们从15:35向后推算。贺晓月离开现场的时间应该是：15:32-15:33之间。”

After hearing Situ's analysis, the captain immediately realized that he was an expert!Then he said: "Yes. The time we saw He Xiaoyue rushing to the first floor in the surveillance was: 15:33. She passed the surveillance on the first floor at 15:28."

Having said this, Wen Tang understood, and He Xiaofeng also understood.However, He Xiaofeng was not as calm as Wen Tang, and immediately shouted: "How is this possible!? The man died at 15:30. When my sister went, wasn't that man already dead?"

This is the reason why He Xiaoyue cannot be let go.
