    Tu San decided to thoroughly investigate Lou Qiang. Before his actions started, an unexpected person invited him to drink tea.

    "Boom boom."

    "Please come in." Principal Li Yanhe said.

    Tu San pushed the door open and entered. The principal had been waiting for him for a long time, first he looked at him sharply, and then said: "Sit down."

    As soon as Tu San sat down, Li Yanhe poured him a cup of tea. Tu San looked at the clear liquid, but didn't dare to take it. He felt like he was in a grand feast.

    Sure enough, Li Yanhe's next sentence was, "I heard you are checking on my students?"

    Tu Sanxin said that he guessed right.

    Lou Qiang is one of Li Yanhe's favorite students, he invited him to drink tea and chat, but actually wanted to beat him up.

    "After all, there are rumors that Lou Qiang has something to do with Liu Yihe's death. I want to be responsible for my client, so naturally I have to investigate."

    After Li Yanhe listened, he snorted coldly.

    Disgusted and said: "Rumours, nine out of ten are fake, one part is true, you might as well ask me directly instead of believing the rumors, thanks to which you are still a lawyer."

    The question is, will you tell the truth?Tu San slandered.

    With Li Yanhe's defensive personality, he will definitely pick off his students, and what he said may be less credible than rumors.

    Li Yanhe seemed to have seen through Tu San's heart, took off his glasses, wiped them slowly, sighed vaguely, and said, "Tu San, the teacher guarantees you with this old life, Liu Yi and the hundreds of knives on his bodyNot one knife was cut by Lou Qiang, her hands are clean."

    Tu San looked at Li Yanhe's eyes covered with a layer of haze due to his age. When he said these words, the haze on the eye mask seemed to be blown away by the breeze, leaving only the clarity from the heart.

    At this moment, he suddenly doubted his own judgment.

    "Would you like to hear another version of the story?"

    Li Yanhe took back his glasses and looked at the opposite teaching building through the open door, a little lost in thought, as if recalling some memories, "Conflicts and disputes between Du Yilan, Lou Qiang, and Liu Yihe."

    Tu San thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

    Li Yanhe also nodded.

    "Okay, let me think about where to start first."

    "How about, let's start with the matter of Du Yilan and Lou Qiang." Tu San suggested.

    "That's fine. Did you hear that they had a tense relationship and were never going to die?"

    "right."

    "Hahaha." Li Yanhe smiled and shook his head, "Wrong, all wrong, they are not that bad."

    "Du Yilan is self-willed, but she has never hurt Lou Qiang subjectively. Although I don't know what the two little girls are thinking, I personally feel that Lou Qiang doesn't hate Du Yilan. But Du Yilan deliberately targeted Lou Qiang. MoreLike pissed off."

    "Angry?" Tu San was surprised.

    Li Yanhe: "Two children, one sees that the other has a new good friend, and is afraid of losing the other, and uses the childish way of the cold war to provoke the other's attention. This is how I feel."

    Tu San asked again: "But isn't Du Yilan's accident related to Lou Qiang?"

    Li Yanhe: "That was really an accident. No one thought that Du Yilan would run out because of Lou Qiang's words, and meet a group of gangsters. I watched Lou Qiang go from junior high school to high school, and her character can be assured.Teachers can vouch for her."

    "As for Liu Yihe, he has always wanted to replace me, but he has ambitions but no ability. Lou Qiang was implicated by me."

    Tu San wanted to say something else, but Li Yanhe raised his hand to signal him to wait.

    "Haven't you been checked by the police?"

    "As early as in the case of Du Yilan, Lou Qiang's details were investigated clearly. If you don't believe me, you should also believe in the police's ability."

    Tu San naturally knew this, but...

    "Liu Yihe disappeared in the school. The culprit is most likely someone from the school. Apart from investigating the teachers and students, where else can I look for clues."

    "Why don't you investigate Liu Yihe?"

    "Perhaps he provoked someone he couldn't provoke, and committed a serious crime that would destroy his ashes. That's why they planned a sophisticated crime in order to retaliate against him."

    Li Yanhe's words reminded him of the details that were almost forgotten in the depths of his memory.

    ——When went to Liu Yihe's office for the first time, there was not a single hair on the ground, and it was as clean as if no one had stayed there before.

    Could it be that Liu Yihe really committed crimes in the past, and now he died under the butcher's knife of the avengers.

    Isn't it all in vain for him to spend time and effort investigating every suspect in the school these days?

    Tu San came out of the office, wanting to take a breath of fresh air to calm down, but saw the dark clouds covering the sky, the air was filled with moisture and heat fighting, the ants on the cement road were anxiously running, the wind whimpered and swept the fallen leaves, and the breathing was a little heavy,With a heavy breath in his chest... It looks like it's going to rain this day.

    In short, after the investigation, got stuck in the mud again, surrounded by fog, and couldn't see the way forward, and was pulled into the deep ground by the mud a little bit.

    ————

    Back to the law firm.

    Zhou Zheng has taken a financial loan case these days, and the reward for winning is very considerable, so he is too busy to touch the ground.

    Hearing that Tu San was back, he also rushed back, wanting Tu San to help out, and he would be paid 28 cents afterwards.

    He was sure that Tu San would not refuse such a good job of earning money and fame.

    Tu San: "No."

    Zhou Zheng gritted his teeth and held up three fingers, "At most three to seven points is my biggest concession."

    "No."

    "Hey, you boy!"

    Zhou Zheng quickly realized that his status was not online. He was slouching on a chair, his suit jacket was put on the back of the chair, the cuffs of his shirt were rolled up, and few buttons were buttoned. He refused to take it off before., Now don't want any image at all. don't look like an elite lawyer, but like a young bully fighting on the side of the road.

    He was turning the pen carelessly with his fingertips, propped his head on the other hand, and stared out of the window without blinking. Except for tall buildings, there was no scenery at all outside the window.

    "Are you still investigating Liu Yi and that case?"

    "En." Tu San didn't even open his mouth.

    "Didn't find anything?"

    "Um."

    No wonder he felt a gust of cold air hit his face as soon as he stepped into the office today, obviously the air conditioner was not turned on.

    "It's okay." Zhou Zheng walked over, patted him on the back, and said with relief: "Old Deng didn't find out why, and he still doesn't know how Liu Yihe left the school. It was like seeing a ghost.So many police forces are useless, you don’t need to feel frustrated, just smile and take a look..."

    "..."

    "Let me tell you, every time you lose a lawsuit, you have to win a lawsuit to prove yourself, so, join me, this kind of financial lawsuit not only has no life safety risk, but also has a reward beyond your imagination, one order can be eaten for a year!..."

    Tu San closed his eyes, he already had a headache, and now he was not in the mood to listen to Zhou Zheng's nagging, and he didn't hear what Zhou Zheng said later.

    He was worried that the imitator would not be found out, worried that Mr. Tu would lose his life, and worried that everything would not escape the end of his previous life - Mr. Tu would live or die, and he died in a corner that no one knew.

    He rubbed the space between his tired brows, turned on his phone, the last message was still on that video, and that person never contacted him again.

    This puts him in a passive position.

    Tu San felt that he was in a bottleneck stage, knocking on the door of the truth, and almost took the key to open the door.

    There must be some crucial detail that he overlooked.

    He simply adjusted his mood and ignored the rest. He organized the content of the investigation these days into a file, and reorganized and analyzed it from beginning to end.

    Nest in the law firm, a nest lasts for several days.

    After staying for a long time, other lawyers who passed by his office knew to walk lightly and not disturb him.

    The interns will also consciously make a cup of espresso and put it by his hand at a fixed time, and look back when they leave, wondering what big case can keep Mr. Tu stuck in the law firm to stay up late.

    The hard work paid off, and Tu San keenly discovered something.

    Listing each suspect's information together, their alibi seems to be able to form a closed circle.

    Mrs. Liu doubted the principal, and the students testified to the principal that he had no possibility of committing the crime.

    The students suspected Mrs. Liu and contacted the butcher shop owner through Mrs. Liu, but the fruit shop owner testified that they were looking for children and had no time to commit crimes.

    Going around and going back to school, the suspicion fell on Lou Qiang, but the principal could testify for her.

    Everyone is suspected again, but everyone has a reason for not being a murderer.

    How could it be such a coincidence?

    After staying up late for several days, Tu San's eyes were bloodshot, but he still looked at their relationship diagram over and over again, trying to find a certain breakthrough.

    Because behind all the coincidences are elaborate plans and lies woven one by one, as long as he can find a loophole, even an inconspicuous hole, it is enough for him to find the inside story of Liu Yihe's mysterious disappearance from school.

    "Bang!" The office door was suddenly pushed open, startling him.

    Zhou Zheng strode in angrily, full of resentment.

    Tu San was displeased, "Won't you knock on the door before you come in?"

    Zhou Zheng scratched his head: "I'm annoying, pay attention next time."

    "Case lost?"

    "Don't mention it, I was busy going to the bank to investigate the flow of funds for the client, but they told me that the money had never entered their bank at all, and I was so lonely!" Zhou Zheng was full of anger: "Outrageous!"

    "It's outrageous enough. I don't know where my own money has gone..."

    Tu San said something inadvertently, suddenly, he thought of something, stood motionless in a daze, recalling what he just said.

    Then he turned his head and plunged into the pile of materials, quickly flipping through the pages.

    He could hear his heart beating faster and faster, thud thump, thud overwhelmed, almost breaking through the barrier, his blood gradually boiled, as if it was about to burn, his breathing became rapid, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.rise.

    His tired eyes sparkled again, half nervous, half excited.

    found it!

    Finally he found it!

    "Hahaha...hahaha..." Tu San sprinkled the materials in his hand into the air, and the snow-white paper leaves clattered like falling snow.

    Tu San finally let out the breath stuck in his chest at this moment, feeling refreshed immediately.

    There is no unparalleled road!

    But his appearance was particularly frightening in Zhou Zheng's eyes. He patted him on the shoulder cautiously, "You, you, you won't be driven crazy by the case, will you?"

    "Ah?" Tu tilted his head and smiled brightly, "I'm fine."

    Zhou Zheng was almost scared to death by him, his face was full of sadness, and he wanted to shake him awake, persuading him earnestly: "Listen to brother, give up, with your current status, there is no shortage of these steel coins, don't put them away.You broke down yourself, you still have a bright future!"

    Tu San: "..."

    What is this guy talking about?

    He just discovered a loophole that he had been ignoring all along.

    Maybe Liu Yihe didn't disappear from school at all, to be exact, he never went to school from the beginning to the end!

    The direction of the police investigation was wrong, and he was also wrong. They were all deceived by the real murderer and led into a fork in the road.

    According to the security guard, Mrs. Liu drove Liu Yihe to work that day. He only saw Mrs. Liu and knew that Liu Yihe was in the car, but he did not see it with his own eyes.

    Similarly, because Liu Yihe needed to invigilate the exam that day, and the lights in his office were on, the teachers and classmates subconsciously thought he was at school.

    Therefore, their investigations all started from the school, focusing on how Liu Yihe left school.

    But a person doesn't appear from one place to another just out of thin air, unless he has never been to that place.

    The clues will not be broken without a trace, unless someone deliberately lied.

    Once he jumped out of the ecstasy array arranged by the murderer, the case suddenly became clear.

    Since Liu Yihe had never been to school, anyone who said he had seen him would be lying with open eyes, and he would be seriously suspected.

    The principal who invigilated the exam with Director Liu, and Mrs. Liu who sent her husband to work, they must have problems!

    Maybe they are the accomplices. They joined forces and staged a quarrel scene in front of everyone. On the surface, the relationship fell to the freezing point. In fact, they covered and assisted each other and deceived everyone.

    Mrs. Liu has already checked carefully, and the principal is the only one, because he has been ruled out of suspicion from the beginning, and has not been carefully investigated.

    It circled around and returned to the original point.

    Li Yanhe, Tu San silently read the principal's name.

    Why do you want to attack Liu Yihe?

    For the principal's authority, or other secrets I don't know?

    Tu San did not tell the police about this discovery. He knew very well that after Deng Gang caught the real culprit, he would directly torture them for interrogation and would not give them a chance to speak alone.

    And he saved a lot of questions to ask the real culprit alone, so he had to be more careful in this operation, not to startle the snake, and not to startle Deng Gang and the others.

    Under Zhou Zheng's bewildered and frightened gaze, Tu San quickly tidied up his clothes, picked up his coat and went outside.

    Today is a warm day in the sky, he walks lightly, hums a little song, and the pressure he has squeezed for a long time turns into fine dust in the sun and spreads from his body to the surroundings.

    He was relaxed, but some people were not like this. Zhou Zheng, who had been watching him leave behind him, tremblingly took out his cell phone and made a call.

    "Hey, hello, help me answer the call of Dr. Song from the psychiatry department. All of our lawyers need psychological counseling. It's urgent!..."

    ————

    Li Yanhe's wife and daughter died early due to illness. Since then, he has been alone. His life trajectory and interpersonal communication are very simple. It is nothing more than running between home and school, occasionally going to the Education Bureau for meetings, and visiting his wife and daughter in the cemetery when he is free.

    After following him for a few days, Tu San didn't find anything unusual, but he liked to run to the cemetery too much, and sometimes he would stay for a whole day, talking to himself to two cold tombstones.

    When he left the cemetery, another pair of shiny leather shoes appeared in front of the tombstone.

    Tu San bent down and looked at the two tombs. The cemetery was ordinary, but the ground was cleaned very clean, unlike other cemeteries that were covered with fallen leaves and dust.The daughter has the latest toys and candies, and the wife has recently popular internet celebrity cosmetics and low-sugar cakes. The family must have lived happily ever after.

    Pity.

    "Hey, that man over there, who are you?" The cemetery administrator came over, he had never seen Tu San, and stared at him suspiciously.

    Tu San explained: "Li Yanhe is my teacher, Mrs. Li is my mistress, I happened to pass by and wanted to see them."

    The administrator saw that he was handsome and well-dressed, so he believed his words.

    "Oh, then you are late, Principal Li just left." The administrator pointed to the direction of the exit.

    Tu San said it didn't matter, "Master and junior sister are gone, teacher is very sad."

    The administrator sighed, "Not only sad, Mrs. Li cried a lot when she left. Later, when his daughter was abducted by human traffickers and killed, he sat alone in the cemetery for a day and a night. The next day I came to open the door and was arrested."He was startled, the hair of a man in his thirties is all white."

    "Abducted?" Tu San asked, "Didn't he go to be sick?"

    Administrator: "No, in the abduction case more than 20 years ago, his daughter was also one of the abducted children."

    Twenty years ago...

    Tu San remembered that when he was investigating the relationship between the butcher shop owner and Mrs. Liu, he ran into Captain Deng and heard him mention it.

    "Is it the kidnapping and trafficking case of Canglan Elementary School?" Tu San asked.

    "That's it." The administrator said sympathetically, "Well, the police investigated for a long time, and finally only found her daughter's severed limbs by the river. The person must be gone. I heard that Principal Li fainted in the morgue., tsk tsk, god damn human trafficker!"

    Listening to the cursing from the administrator, Tu San thought to himself, the principal's daughter and Mrs. Liu's daughter were both involved in the kidnapping case 22 years ago. Could there be some inside story that he didn't know about?

    Then I heard the administrator say: "However, Principal Li's condition has improved a lot recently, so he should have looked away."

    Tu San said: "Has he had any abnormal behavior or words recently?"

    The administrator thought for a moment, "There's nothing unusual about it...I'd better come and wipe the tombstones of my wife and daughter whenever I have time, and then sit down and chat with them for a few hours."

    "Oh, I remembered, he didn't show up for a long time, and then one night, when I was patrolling the cemetery, it was dark, and there was a thunder, and he suddenly appeared and stood there, so gloomy that I almost frightenedI'm dead, I called him and he didn't respond to me, he touched his daughter's tombstone and muttered."

    "What are you talking about?"

    "I can't hear it very clearly from a distance. It seems to be 'not delicious'. I don't know what it is. It's weird anyway."

    Tu San suddenly turned his head to look at the tombstone of the principal's daughter beside him. The little girl in the photo has not lost her baby fat yet, her hair is divided into two strands, and she has two cute chirps, and she grinned with two rows of small white teeth..

    Her father gave her unreserved paternal love, cared for her like a little princess when he was alive, and exchanged the flesh and blood of his enemy for her to rest in peace after death.

    Tu San knew in his heart that the sentence was not 'not delicious', but 'revenge'.
