Something went wrong in the kitchen, the gas stove could not be turned on, and the chestnut roasted corns that were half-stewed were about to cool down.

As soon as the soup cools, the taste changes. Mother Lu is a person who strives for perfection. She didn't want her daughter's boyfriend to leave a bad impression on her cooking skills. In a hurry, she looked for a lighter everywhere.

Lu Yan was also busy helping her mother to find it, but after searching for a long time to no avail, Jiang Chengyi was brought in instead.

He took off his suit, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and found a lighter from nowhere. As soon as he approached, he lit the gas stove. The light blue flame was holding the silver pot, which made Mother Lu come to life again.

She smiled and said to Jiang Chengyi, "Xiao Jiang, wait outside for a while, I'll ask Yanyan to help me cut two vegetables and fry them in the pot."

Jiang Chengyi had already walked to the door, and when he heard the sound of chopping vegetables, he stopped again and looked back at Lu Yan.

The green ones are cucumbers and green peppers, and the white ones are her fingers. The sharp blade is so close to her thin white fingers that it can make a hole at any time.

The more he looked at it, the more hanging he felt, so he couldn't help walking back and whispered to Lu Yan, "Get out of the way."

Cut the cucumbers and green peppers straight, put them aside for Mother Lu in a low-key manner, then glanced at Lu Yan and went out.

Half an hour later, Lu Yan came out to set the dishes, and Mother Lu brought out the prepared four dishes and two soups.

In the living room, Jiang Chengyi had already sorted everything he brought with him.

The little dog Doudou wagged his tail and ran around the running air purifier. There was a big guy with a square head and a square brain. The black nose leaned towards the air inlet.

Jiang Chengyi grabbed its tail and was about to drag it back. Hearing the movement from Mother Lu, he immediately changed to a "kind" stroke.

Lu Yan pretended not to see it, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Pack.

When setting the table and chopsticks, I remembered Jiang Chengyi's stance in high school, how could he look "kind, respectful, thrifty" at all. Another time, a student from a neighboring school followed her. After the game between the two schools, he threw the basketball in his hand aside, grabbed the opponent's collar, and slammed it down with a punch, causing an uproar.

But Mother Lu was obviously ignorant of all this. When eating, she deliberately filled a bowl of Huang Chengcheng's chicken soup and put it in front of Jiang Chengyi. When persuading him to cook, the smile on her face deepened a little more than when Jiang Chengyi first entered the door.

The meal was pleasant and happy. When the two left, Mother Lu repeatedly emphasized: "If you have time to come over next week, make a call in advance and my aunt will cook some special dishes for you."

back home.

As soon as Jiang Chengyi entered the door, he tore off his tie, took off his suit, threw it aside, and slumped on the sofa: "Lu Yan, I'm thirsty, I need some water."

Mother-in-law is really the most unflattering type of person in the world, and she is more tired than handling cases.

This person... As soon as he got home, his true nature was revealed, and she understood how hard he had been "pretending" just now. She put down her bag, took the initiative to bring two glasses of water, and handed him one of them, her eyes sparkling: "Look at your performance today. Come on, I forgive you for bullying Doudou."

Jiang Chengyi drank it all in one gulp and denied: "When did I bully Doudou? I love small animals the most."

Seeing Lu Yan pouting, he took her into his arms and asked her, "Your mother, I've passed the test."

His eyes were darker and brighter than usual, and his voice was deep and confident.

Lu Yan touched his button and deliberately teased him: "I don't know."

He clearly knew what to do, but he wanted to ask her, not just to coax her to praise him.

Push him away.

When she took out the notebook from the room, Jiang Chengyi had already lay down on the sofa, with one arm in front of his eyes, pretending to fall asleep, when he heard her come over, he asked, "Are you going to sleep? I have to go to the bureau in the afternoon, Squint for a while, wait for you to call me."

Since he entered this line of work, day and night have been a common occurrence, and he has long been accustomed to making up for sleep anytime, anywhere.

Lu Yan put the suit over his body for him. Seeing that his eyes and eyebrows were blocked by his own arms, only his lips were exposed, so he leaned over and pecked lightly on his lips, and said with a smile, "I don't sleep. "

Jiang Chengyi took his hand away: "Don't you like to take a nap when you're studying?"

When passing by the sixth class at noon, he looked at it several times. She was lying on the table, blushing, saliva hanging on her cheeks, and she slept very soundly.

The first time he bumped into him, he only felt that the image of the goddess had collapsed in his heart. The second time, he touched his chin outside the classroom and thought about it for a while, and then he thought why Lu Yan was so cute. Looking back now, it's really hard to guess what was thinking when was a teenager.

"That was when I was a kid." She glanced at him and turned on the computer. "When I go to work, I stay in the operating room all day, and I have to concentrate all the time. I don't have time to take a nap."

Jiang Chengyi didn't say a word, and it was estimated that drowsiness was brewing, so she stopped talking, so as not to affect his sleep.

Not long after, Jiang Chengyi's phone rang. She looked at the time and thought distressedly, "Even if it's ten minutes later, let Jiang Chengyi sleep for half an hour."

Jiang Chengyi closed his eyes and touched the coffee table, and pressed the speakerphone.

"Team Jiang, we have finished the search. Ding Jing's apartment is not big, and there are no suspicious clues, but there is a locked drawer in the bedroom. After opening it, we found some video discs. In addition, the lock at the gate has The traces of prying cannot be ruled out that someone tried to break into the house, but for some unknown reason, they failed to pick the lock successfully. Team Jiang, we are almost busy with work, we will return to the bureau. "

Jiang Chengyi rubbed his brows and stood up: "I'll come here."

Pulling Lu Yan up: "Let's go, come with me to the bureau, and record a statement by the way."

He put away the notebook for her again, and said to her: "I'm afraid that the next target of the murderer is you. Before catching this person, I don't worry that you will stay at home alone. This weekend, the leaders above are not there. wifi, I'll find you an empty room in a while, we'll discuss the case here, you write your stuff."

"Okay." Lu Yan's eyes were bright. She was eager to find out about Deng Man's case. Although she was a little scared, she was more hopeful.

When we arrived at the bureau, there were indeed many people in the office. Among them, there was a fat middle-aged man surrounded by people. He was eating snacks in his hand and talking to everyone with a smile.

As soon as Lu Yan came in, the man turned his attention to Lu Yan.

This person is very recognizable in both appearance and demeanor. Lu Yan inexplicably felt that the other person was familiar.

Jiang Chengyi called that person, Dr. Yu, and asked Xiao Zhou to lead Lu Yan to the next room to make a note.

Before entering the room, Lu Yan noticed that Jiang Chengyi pulled out a chair in front of the computer desk and sat down, took the CD handed over by Lao Qin,

The CD is dated in black marker, April 2009.

Lao Qin was puzzled: "I don't know what was recorded here. Ding Jing is quite precious, so she deliberately locked it in the bedroom. No one has lived in the Ding family's apartment for 180 years, so Ding Jing occasionally visits it. ."

Jiang Chengyi looked at the date marked on the disc, took out the first disc, put it into the computer, and then clicked the play button. The moment the player jumped out, everyone immediately gathered around.

Although the CD is a little old, it is well preserved because it has not been played many times.

The person who took the video is obviously not professional enough, the camera is very unstable, the shooting time should be in the evening, and the scene in the picture is a bit desolate, like in a remote park.

For a long time in front, the picture was in a still state. At the thirtieth second, the camera shakes obviously, as if the lens holder found something and took a step back.

Then two people appeared on the screen.

The one on the left is a 17- or 18-year-old female middle school student, wearing a school uniform. She is tall among girls, about 167. She has long hair and two braids, and she looks pretty.

Lao Qin has been looking through Deng Man's files for a few days, and immediately recognized the man as Deng Man.

The man on the right was about the same height as Deng Man, wearing black-rimmed glasses and a white shirt, looking very gentle and fair, about thirty-six or seven years old.

"Mr. Zhou." Jiang Chengyi frowned slightly.

The two talked while walking, Deng Man turned to look at Teacher Zhou from time to time, smiling very quietly and sweetly.

The two sat down on the stone bench under the willow tree and kept chatting.

Half an hour later, the lens holder seemed impatient, and the lens shook slightly.

But at this moment, Deng Man suddenly raised his eyes to look at Teacher Zhou, and silently leaned on his shoulder.

Teacher Zhou's waist seemed to stiffen for a while. After a while, he hesitantly embraced Deng Man's waist, lowered his head, and tentatively kissed Deng Man's lips.

"Teacher-student love!" Someone clapped the table, "This teacher, what kind of thing."

At this time, Xiao Zhou had already made a note for Lu Yan. At the moment when the door was opened, Lu Yan heard her and was about to listen again, but Xiao Zhou closed the door cautiously.

Lu Yan had to give up.

After watching the first video, there are still two CDs left. Everyone watched it all the way, only to find that this is the first paragraph is the most subtle of the three videos. of intimacy.

Judging from all the clues, it is very likely that the photographer is Ding Jing.

After playing the CD, Jiang Chengyi opened the slideshow.

The screen went black first, then brightened, and the next second, a close-up of Zhou Zhicheng's front appeared on the screen.

"Zhou Zhicheng, born on May 31, 1971, a native of this city. Graduated from S City Normal University, graduated in July 1993, and later taught in S City No. 7 Middle School. He married in 1997, and his spouse is an employee of the Electric Power Bureau, named My name is Lin Chunmei."

A photo of a young woman immediately popped up on the slideshow, with a melon-faced face and a handsome face, but her eyes were a bit fierce, and she didn't look very close.

"According to the data, Lin Chunmei had an accidental miscarriage in the third year after their marriage, and she was not pregnant since then. Zhou Zhicheng and Lin Chunmei went to several major hospitals for medical treatment, but failed. In 2007, Lin Chunmei had an electric car accident on her way home. After being admitted to the hospital, he fell into a deep coma. After one year of treatment, Zhou Zhicheng signed Lin Chunmei to go home because he was unable to pay the high medical expenses. Lin Chunmei lay in a vegetative state at home for three years and died in September 2010.

Yu Zheng asked Jiang Chengyi to freeze the picture on Lin Chunmei's close-up, and asked, "Team Jiang, do you have detailed information on Lin Chunmei's family?"

Jiang Chengyi handed a stack of papers to Yu Zheng: "Lin Chunmei is also a local, her parents are also employees of the Electricity Bureau, her father is a skilled worker in the bureau, and her mother runs a canteen, both of whom are now retired. After the accident that year, Lin Chunmei's parents She had been noisy at her daughter's house many times, because Zhou Zhicheng had put too much pressure on his wife in recent years, and Lin Chunmei was overwhelmed, so she was in a trance and had a traffic accident. The Lin family blamed Zhou Zhicheng for her daughter's misfortune. He thought that since his daughter had lost the ability to work, Zhou Zhicheng, as a son-in-law, had to give the old couple an explanation. The neighbors couldn't see it and came forward to mediate several times.

"After Lin Chunmei's death, did Zhou Zhicheng remarry?"

Lao Qin shook his head: "With such a big family on the stand, does Zhou Zhicheng dare to remarry? Even if he really has a love interest, he will be able to hide it."

Yu Zheng's interest was always on Lin Chunmei, and he said to Jiang Chengyi, "Team Jiang, I want a detailed resume of Lin Chunmei."

Lu Yan sat quietly in the room for nearly two hours. First, she wanted to listen to the conversation outside, but the sound insulation was too good, so she couldn't hear it clearly. Later, she simply restrained her mind and concentrated on preparing for the case competition that she was going to participate in next month.

At nearly five o'clock, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Jiang Chengyi's mother, she picked it up quickly.

"Yanyan, are you bored at home? Jiang Chengyi didn't answer the phone and went to work overtime again? Yuheng Plaza called me and said that this season's clothes have arrived. I also like the clothes of this brand, and the friend that my aunt met you last time, she is also a customer of that store, why don't you call your friend out for a stroll at night?"

Knowing that she was talking about Tang Jie, Lu Yan smiled embarrassedly: "Auntie, I'm in a special situation now, so it may not be convenient for me to go out."

The door opened, and Jiang Chengyi appeared at the door: "Let's go."

Mother Jiang immediately caught her son's voice: "Yanyan, give Jiang Chengyi the phone, and I'll talk to him."

Lu Yan had to get up and handed the phone to Jiang Chengyi: "Your mother."

Jiang Chengyi took it and listened for a few seconds, then looked at Lu Yan: "Oh, I see."

Lu Yan had no interest in visiting famous stores at all, and was too lazy to study whether Jiang Chengyi agreed or not. She put away her notebook and came out to see Dr. Yu standing beside Jiang Chengyi.
