Seeing that Jiang Chengyi's reasoning coincided with hers, Lu Yan said to him, "Wait a minute."

Go back to your room and take out the album.

"I took it from Deng Man's house yesterday." She pushed it in front of Jiang Chengyi.

"Look. There are almost all the group photos of the three of us in high school. Deng Man didn't seem to want others to find this album before he died, and he deliberately kept it in the storage room at home. If he didn't want to move to clean up the room, Deng Man's mother Nor will it be found in the corner."

Jiang Chengyi glanced at her, knowing that she would not mention this album for no reason, frowned, and turned it over in his hand.

Thanks to the plastic cover, every photo in the album is brand new.

When he turned to one of the pages, he noticed that the footer of that page was obviously curled, and the transparent film on the surface was also a little dirty. After stagnant for a while, he quickly turned back. Clean and bright, only the one just now had obvious traces of being rubbed.

Seeing that Jiang Chengyi quickly discovered the problem, Lu Yan also looked at the photo.

Different from other photos, there are five people in this photo, besides the three of them, there are also Teacher Zhou and another boy.

At that time, Teacher Zhou was much younger than he is now. He was suave and fair and wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Although he was not tall, his refined and gentle temperament made people feel very seductive.

The boy was stepping on a football, wearing a sweatshirt, with his back to the camera, talking to Teacher Zhou, and he was also not tall.

"If I remember correctly, this was taken during the summer vacation of the second year of high school." She said, "I remember that there were many summer activities held in the school at that time, one of which was a speech contest initiated by Mr. Zhou, and Deng Man prepared for a long time at home. , and finally won the runner-up in the whole grade. In my impression, it was the first time that Deng Man took the initiative to participate in this kind of activity. "

Judging from the degree of wear and tear on this page of photographic paper, Deng Man should often reminisce about this unexpected group photo.

Thinking of how hard Deng Man was preparing for the competition at that time, she felt a little nervous in her heart. In fact, when she recalled carefully, Deng Man's love for Teacher Zhou had left some clues at that time, but because she never thought about teacher-student love, Totally ignored.

It was not until she heard about Teacher Zhou's post-operative babbling and Ding Jing's fear of Deng Man's death last year that she completely changed her mind and became suspicious of Teacher Zhou.

"Who is this person?" Jiang Chengyi stared at the other person in the photo.

"I don't know." Lu Yan had studied this person yesterday, and she always seemed to be able to remember it, but she still didn't have it.

Jiang Chengyi turned the album from the beginning to the end, took the fruit knife on the fruit plate on the dining table, and checked the mezzanine to make sure that nothing else was hidden inside. The website has made a wish, but based on this alone, it is impossible for Ding Jing to successfully coerce Deng Man, because since it was a wish of a joke nature, Deng Man can completely deny it, so I guess Ding Jing saw Deng Man's wish at that time. , and also followed Deng Man and took some actual evidence, such as photos or videos. Deng Man was afraid that these materials would be made public, so he went against his wishes and let Ding Jing drive. Assuming that the object of her love is really Zhou Zhicheng, Zhou Zhi As a teacher, in order to preserve his reputation, he will only be more eager to cover up this matter than Deng Man."

Lu Yan recalled slowly, her voice was a little chilly: "And Teacher Zhou doesn't feel guilty about betraying friendship like Deng Man. I remember one time, I made an appointment with you to meet at the basketball gym, but because Teacher Zhou temporarily Talk to me, I was late, the content of that conversation was very vague, and I was surprised for a while. When I got to the basketball hall, Deng Man happened to find you out. That was the first time I saw Deng Man go to see you alone. you."

Jiang Chengyi: "If this inference is true, in addition to Ding Jing, Zhou Zhicheng should have been persecuting Deng Man. Deng Man is in a dilemma, so he is so depressed and painful. Deng Man can't hate his lover, he can only point the finger at him. Zhun Ding Jing, after being hinted by your words that day, her guilt and shame reached its peak, so she wrote the words 'hate her' and 'won't let her go even if she was a ghost'."

Lu Yan was silent for a moment, as if there was a fire in her chest: "After Deng Man's death, Ding Jing was too scared to go out, and according to Liu Yujie's words that day, Ding Jing ran into someone very close to Deng Man eight years later. A similar person, because she had a ghost in her heart, she suspected me, so she came to ask me if I knew about the 'Winter Solstice', and also asked if it was all my fault."

Both were lost in thought.

After a while, Jiang Chengyi looked at Lu Yan.

She was still staring at the album, her eyelashes were still wet, but the tears on her face had dried, making her cheeks even clearer than before.

Thinking of the way she was crying just now, he was both sad and distressed. He looked at her for a while, and seeing that her brows were still haunted with gloom, he threw the album back on the desktop and ended the topic just now: "There are too many doubts about Deng Man, I We will continue to investigate, this matter is related to the Winter Solstice website that year, and may also involve other cases in the future, so please don’t interfere.”

She looked up at him and saw that he was still a little unhappy, her heart softened into a ball of cotton, she leaned over his shoulder and looked into his eyes: "Jiang Chengyi."

Just like before, as long as she called him Rou Rou by her first name and surname, his waist and eyes would numb, and it would not work well after repeated attempts. Last night, she didn't know how many times she babbled, which made him fascinated. When he woke up in the morning, his legs were a little weak.

He leaned his head back and tried to keep a distance from her: "What are you doing."

"Are you going to the bureau in a while?" She put her arms around his waist and accidentally touched a hard object behind him. She was stunned for a moment. She realized that it was a gun case, and she looked back curiously.

He pulled her hand away: "don't touch it, just get down to business."

She had to stop: "I haven't been back to my mother's house for a long time. Tomorrow and Sunday, I want to go back to Dongcheng."

Is this to formally introduce him to her mother?

When the two hadn't dated, he knew that she lived with her mother.

In one training session, she went to class, but when she didn't come, he felt a little lost, and even his teammates were a little lazy to talk to him.

Then, for some reason, Ding Jing suddenly started talking about Lu Yan to the other cheerleaders, saying that an aunt in her family who knew Lu Yan's mother said: Lu Yan's father was a famous boy. When Lu Yan was six years old, His father divorced her mother. Lu Yan has been living with her mother all these years. Her father doesn't come to see Lu Yan very often. He doesn't care about anything except money, so Lu Yan is particularly insecure. She will never look for a son like her father.

Not looking for a son?

Later, when they got together, he remembered it and asked her with a smile if she had said that.

She denied it, but after thinking about it for a while, she looked at him with a half-smile and said, "My mother has said this more than once because she was hurt so much by my father. Friends, it may take a while to accept you."

After hearing this, he was happy in his heart, but he said, "How old are you? Did you think about your boyfriend meeting his parents in the future?"

She glanced at him proudly and hummed, "I'm just telling the truth."

In fact, except for the days when Deng Man committed suicide, when he was with her, he was like a spring breeze almost every day. Even after many years, he still craved that beauty.

And although his parents didn't have time to see Lu Yan eight years ago, when Lu Yan was seriously ill, her mother had already seen him, and he could see that Lu Yan's mother was very satisfied with him.

She was still waiting for his answer.

He didn't want to agree too quickly, and deliberately kept silent.

After struggling for a while between "rejecting and welcoming" and "borrowing a donkey down the slope", he finally chose the latter, and hummed.

The corners of her mouth curled up: "I'll call my mother in a while and ask her not to make sweet and sour yellow croaker dishes."

He looked down at her and added: "I don't like to eat waist flowers and belly slices yet."

"I know." She replied with a smile, really a young master's temper.

He asked him again: "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you.

"You don't have to do it at noon."

"?"

"My mother will come over in a while."

She couldn't help being stunned, his bedroom was still messy, and the sheets were in a mess: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

His phone rang and pulled her away from him. He got up to answer the phone, and after listening to what the other party said, he said, "Okay, I'll come."

She has gone to his room.

He went to the door.

His mother and Mrs. Liu should have already arrived in the community. The house is too big. Only Mrs. Liu knows where the washing machine and dryer are. .

He let her toss about it and said to her, "Dr. Yu is here. I may have lunch at the bureau at noon. My mother and the others will come in a while. Sister Liu will prepare lunch and the driver will follow."

She snorted, and before he had time to look back, he turned and left.

Dr. Yu arrived on time. As soon as he arrived at the office, he saw a slightly fat middle-aged man in his 40s sitting at the table with his hands folded on his stomach, his eyes sharp and a smile.

Seeing him come in, he immediately pulled up his chair and stood up, extending his hand to him: "Vice captain Jiang Chengyi Jiang? I'm Yu Zheng." Although his body was bloated, his movements were very agile.

"Hello." Shaking hands and asking Yu Zheng to sit down.

Several Lao Qin opened the slideshow.

Yu Zheng is very efficient. When he came here, he had already gone through the information passed to him by Lao Qin and the others. The moment the lights in the room went dark, he asked Xiao Zhou to send Li Liwei from three years ago, Wang Wei from City B this year,The scene where the bodies of Wang Qianqian and Ding Jing in S city were thrown back slowly.

"These cases have some commonalities," Jiang Chengyi explained, "but there are some subtle differences, which do not rule out the possibility of a series of crimes."

When zooming in on one of the images, Yu Zheng stared at it for a few seconds and nodded excitedly: "Very interesting, this is a fast-growing criminal, and he/she has a certain economic strength, he/she should come up with moreThe tricks come, come, Jiang team, colleagues, let's start with the crime stimulation scene."
