nostalgic

Faced with Lin Ling's confession, Tang Yun was heartbroken. Lawyer Yan's elaborately fabricated rhetoric evaporated from He Rujing's mouth like spring water through Lin Ling's scorching dry ear canal, until there was no trace of water.

"Life imprisonment, is this the result of your hard work?" After the sentence was pronounced, Tang Yun turned her head and scolded Jane Lai.

"Could it be that you think that the person who committed the crime of killing will be acquitted and released in court?" He Rujing refuted coldly.

"Rujing, in fact, I want to hear the answer from Jian Lai more." Tang Yun said softly with her head lowered in an inadvertent argument with He Rujing.

"The sentence is too light." Jane Lai straightened the neckline of her shirt, moved her thin lips and said four words leisurely.

"You really can't count on it." Tang Yun frowned and leaned her spine against the back of the chair weakly.

"I don't think people who take other people's lives at will should not continue to live shamelessly." Jian Lai's clothes corner rubbed against Tang Yun's knee silently.

Tang Yun hugged her arms and shrunk her shoulders, a bone-chilling chill came under her feet.

"Miss Tang, no matter what the outcome of Lin Ling's matter, you have done your best, don't blame yourself too much." Lin Ling's father, Lin Zhongmin, came to Tang Yun's side to comfort him at some point.

"Uncle Lin, thank you for your understanding. I will not give up on this matter. I will continue to find a way. You go back and rest first." Tang Yun nodded politely and distantly to Lin Zhongmin.

The whispering crowd dispersed in a blink of an eye, and Tang Yun mechanically dragged her soft steps out of the courtroom step by step.

"Tang Yun, why did you disappear as soon as I turned around?" A familiar male voice rang in my ear.

Tang Yun came back to her senses and saw Pan Jinyan standing in front of her holding a kraft paper file bag folded in half.

"I'm sorry, Jin Yan, I forgot to say hello to you before I left." Tang Yun tucked a few stray strands of long hair behind her ears.

"The two old mobile phones that were entrusted to me before have been repaired, and some of the deleted text messages in the inbox have been restored by accident." Pan Jinyan walked over with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and handed the file bag to Tang himself. Rhyme hands.

"Have you read the text message?" Tang Yun cautiously confirmed with Pan Jinyan.

"Of course, but Tang Yun, after reading the text message, I realized that things may be more complicated than we imagined." Pan Jinyan sighed with his hands in his pockets and looked down at the upper of the shoe.

"Where do we start?" Tang Yun looked at Pan Jinyan suspiciously.

"It's inconvenient to talk here, let's talk in the car." Pan Jinyan looked around and opened the car door.

"Is there a new development in the incident?" Tang Yun asked Pan Jinyan, holding the file bag tightly after she sat down firmly.

"You go through the inboxes of the two mobile phones first." Pan Jinyan ordered without haste.

Tang Yun clattered open the file bag, took out the dilapidated Nokia that belonged to her when she was 20 years old, tapped the rubber button to open the inbox, and the desperate text message that seemed to lead to tragedy jumped into her eyes again after decades .

"Yunyun, call me Dad, Uncle Wei Yuanhang, Uncle Gao Linhao, Uncle Pan Wannian, Uncle Qian Yang come to your room, I want to give them a surprise, remember that people must be called Qi, otherwise it will not be fun, Don't yell too much, don't yell less, and you will lead them to my room later, the door is unlocked, just push the door and come in, please, wait for you—Jane Lai."

Tang Yun read out every single word while holding her mobile phone, still feeling uneasy in her heart.

"Look at the inbox of this phone again." Pan Jinyan said and handed over another old Nokia.

"Jane Lai, as agreed in advance, I will give you a present on my birthday. Come to my room to pick it up on time at [-]:[-], and it will expire after the expiration date—Tang Yun." Tang Yun finally saw what Jane Lai said with her own eyes. That text about the gift.

"Through the clues revealed by these two mobile phones, now I can basically conclude that Uncle Tang is the co-conspirator in this incident." Pan Jinyan made an assertion on the whole incident before Tang Yun could speak.

"There were so many guests attending my birthday dinner that night, how can you tell it's my father?" Tang Yun clasped the old mobile phone tightly in her sweaty palms and cleared her throat.

"I had no idea at first, but when the two mobile phones were delivered, they were wrapped in a file bag with the words 'Qiantang Hospital' printed on them. The above indicated that the source of the mobile phones may be Uncle Tang's home or office.

So why did these two mobile phones appear in Uncle Tang's home or office at the same time?With such doubts in mind, I tried to imagine Uncle Tang as the sender of the text message, then everything is naturally much easier to understand, such as the most obvious writing habit. "Pan Jinyan lit a cigarette and handed it to Tang Yun to open the car window.

"You mean signature?" Tang Yun remembered that Jane Lai had mentioned this detail during a dispute over old matters.

"Well, those who read a lot or have higher education often develop unique writing habits subtly, and the use of these words unconsciously reflects a person's knowledge, upbringing, occupation or personality.

The two text messages are nothing at first glance, but if you analyze them carefully, you will find the doorway. For example, the most obvious two text messages are inscribed with two horizontal lines instead of dashes, followed by the sender's name.

Although the details are insignificant, it is enough to make people suspect that the two text messages were written by one person. "Pan Jinyan pointed to the light green rectangular mobile phone screen and talked eloquently.

"I agree that the two text messages were written by one person, but is it too arbitrary to conclude that my father did it based on these two points?" Tang Yun took a deep breath and asked.

"Of course I won't make a conclusion based on just two points, Tang Yun, have you noticed the seniority issue revealed in Jane Lai's text messages? In life, we are used to calling men who are older than their father uncles, and men who are younger than their father Men are called uncles.

So here comes the problem. Among the uncles, my father Pan Wannian is the oldest, followed by Jian Huailin, Qian Yang, Tang Wen, Wei Yuanhang, and Gao Linhao.

But Jian Lai called Qian Yang uncle in this text message. Jian Huailin is older than Qian Yang, so Jane Lai should call him Uncle Qian Yang, and Tang Yun, because Qian Yang is younger than Tang Wen, you should call Qian Yang Yang is uncle. "Pan Jinyan flicked away the cigarette ash that fell on his trousers unintentionally, and stared fixedly at Tang Yun waiting for an answer.

"Can't the question of seniority be explained as a hand error?" Tang Yun asked after a few seconds of serious thinking.

"It's very possible to make a mistake on the issue of seniority, but how should we explain the words 'expired and invalid'?" Pan Jinyan indirectly denied Tang Yun's conjecture.

"What can these four words mean?" Tang Yun stubbed out the remaining half of the cigarette and threw it into the ashtray, then turned her head to meet Pan Jinyan's gaze.

"Normal people should use 'expired without waiting' in the context at that time. Who would use 'expired and expired'? A doctor, and a senior doctor who is proficient in pharmacy and committed to drug development." Pan Jinyan seemed to conclude Chen Like a word, pull the progress bar of the topic to the end.

"This is too far-fetched. Medicines can expire, and certificates and credit cards can also expire. Doctors are not the only people who are used to using this term." Tang Yun analyzed rationally.

"Then aside from this point, how to explain other coincidences? One or two coincidences are fine, but if a bunch of coincidences occur at the same time, then problems will arise." Pan Jinyan is reluctant.

"Jin Yan, if my father is indeed Jiang Jiang's collusion, what are you going to do?" Tang Yun asked after stepping out of the car door with one leg.

"It's not clear yet. I haven't had time to make mental preparations for this." Pan Jinyan spread his hands, his eyes revealing a rare confusion.

"How did Uncle Pan die that year?" Tang Yun asked this out of nowhere.

"The reason is a little hard to tell, but it's okay for you to know." After thinking for a while, Pan Jinyan went out of the car window and remained silent for two seconds.

Tang Yun felt a little sorry when she saw Pan Jinyan's sad look.

"My father died of a venereal disease. Before his death, his life was desolate and promiscuous for a year or two. At that time, he was in the midst of those enchanting women who were openly sold. His whole body seemed to have been sucked away, leaving only one desire. A dissatisfied empty shell, before leaving, the body was as thin as a dried-up skeleton, and the festering and festering of the lower body was unsightly." Pan Jinyan grabbed the cigarette case and lit a cigarette with trembling fingers.

"Jin Yan, what is the cause of death of the other uncles?" Tang Yun retracted her right leg, which she had already taken, and moved back to sit beside Pan Jinyan.

"Uncle Wei Yuanhang was provoked and beaten to death in prison because of his fierce personality, Uncle Qian Yang committed suicide because of his involvement in a major financial fraud case, and Uncle Gao Linhao was hacked to death by relatives and friends of the victim in the street because of the leaking video of child molestation." Pan Jinyan calmly asked Tang Yun told about everything that happened in the past years.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you to bring up these sad things." Tang Yun apologized in a low voice.

"There's nothing to apologize for. Maybe it's me, Tang Yun, who should really apologize. Sometimes I wonder if this series of deaths is because they have done something evil that even the sky can't see? The more time goes by, the This feeling is getting stronger.

I watched my father show off his power because of his fortune in the antique business since I was a child. Later, my father met several uncles with the same family status. Four or five of them formed a strong camp, and the most powerful person among them was Jane Huailin. .

After being protected by Jane's family, my father became more and more rampant. He used all means to deal with business opponents. He always beat and maimed people he didn't like because of a slight conflict, and abandoned my mother mercilessly.

I watched my father degenerate day by day into a monster who didn't know human feelings. I often felt that I was full of sins and was powerless to change my mother's situation. I always wanted to destroy my body with a dagger and wanted to die.

Until one day I found that my legs were different when walking. At that time, I let the disease grow as if I had been redeemed. Finally, I finally grew into a slope that should be despised by others, but because of my father, no one still cares about it. Dare to neglect me.

Not long after my mother passed away, something happened to Jianwei, and my father sent me abroad. I spent the money my father earned, living a life of drunkenness and debauchery, until I received that dark blue letter. Only then did I realize that I should no longer escape, I need to face all this. "Pan Jinyan confessed his deepest thoughts.

"Understood, that's why you pretended to be a policeman and asked me to investigate the cause of Uncle Jian's death." Hearing this, Tang Yun naturally thought of the first meeting with Pan Jinyan in June last year.

"Do you think I pretended to be a policeman and went to you to investigate to find out the real cause of death of several uncles? No, I want to know what serious crimes they have committed more than this? Tang Yun, I think I know, I want to know urgently." Pan Jinyan raised his head and looked at Tang Yun with almost pleading eyes.

"Then let's start with my little uncle Lu Yunyou." Tang Yun was stunned for a moment, then took out a cigarette from her pocket and lit it, and delivered it silently to Pan Jinyan's fingers.
