misplaced survival

"I saw him sit on the poker table with my own eyes, but I was afraid of being discovered by him, so I ran away quickly." Zhou Chengcheng took a sip of Coke to calm himself down, "That's all I know."

After Jiang Xiyan lowered his eyebrows and thought about it, he raised his head and said to Zhou Chengcheng, "Tell the police what you told me today. As for your going to the casino, I won't tell, but I hope you don't go there again. "

Zhou Chengcheng responded casually, "Understood."

He looked enviously at the two people sitting opposite, and sighed: "You both have colleges to go to, so I am different."

Yang Zhao didn't understand, "Didn't you say before that you can go home and inherit the family business?"

Although Zhou Chengcheng didn't say it clearly, Jiang Xiyan guessed his situation to some extent, knowing that Zhou Chengcheng loves face, so he didn't ask in detail, but said: "Zhou Chengcheng, reading is not the only way out. The one who really grasps the direction of life is always yourself. You You will find your own way out, I believe in you."

Zhou Chengcheng was stunned, never thought that one day he would be recognized by Jiang Xiyan.

He suddenly smiled, picked up the Coke in his hand, and said to Jiang Xiyan: "Jiang Xiyan, just wait and see, I will rise to the top one day, so until then, you must live safely!"

Jiang Xiyan picked up the cup and clinked with Zhou Chengcheng, "Definitely."

Leaving KFC, Jiang Xiyan watched the two leave, walked slowly towards his own direction, glanced suspiciously at the intersection from the corner of his eye, and walked quickly into the door.

At the corner, a man in a black hoodie slowly raised his head, looked at the second floor of Jiang Xiyan's house, and smiled faintly.

Jiang Xiyan leaned against the door, recalling that Zhou Chengcheng had told him the addresses of the two teachers' hometowns before he left, it seemed that he had to find a chance to sneak away and take a look at that place.

"Changping Village." Jiang Xiyan murmured.

"Changping Village, this is the right place." Shen Shu followed the location and looked around in Changping Village, but didn't look at Song Zhou's high-profile face.

He took out his mobile phone, checked the address Taozi sent him again, and walked north of the village entrance.

"Ms. Liu, do you still have any impressions of these people? They were your students." Song Zhou placed photos one by one on the table and provided them to the old man in front of him to recall.

Liu Pi put on his presbyopic glasses, squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and after seeing clearly who was in the photo, he nodded and said, "I remember, why don't I remember?"

He took out two photos, "These two are the worst, they can't control them, they always like to fight with other students, and they don't listen to persuasion several times."

Song Zhou saw that the photos of Huang Dakang and Chen Yiwei were taken out separately, and the deaths of these two people were also very similar.

He then asked, "Are these two people leading the trouble? What about the others?"

Liu Pi then took out Li Yuan's photo, pointed at him and said, "This kid was led astray by them. I once persuaded him not to play with Huang Dakang and the others, but this kid didn't listen, and turned around and talked to him again." They get together."

"As for the two of them..." Liu Pi looked at the photo of Gao Zhiqiang and Sun Chaoyang in his hand, and remained silent for a long time.

Song Zhou heard footsteps approaching outside the courtyard, turned around and saw Shen Shu coming, and greeted him, "Here we are."

"Sit inside." Shen Shu squeezed Song Zhou, took a seat and sat down. He looked at the photos on the table and asked in a low voice, "How are you doing now?"

Liu Pi stared at the two photos sadly, and said sadly, "It was I who harmed them..."

His old face left two lines of tears full of remorse, mournful and sad.

Jiang Xiyan lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the intersection.

It was obviously the hottest time of summer, and it was dark outside the window, and even the evening wind was a bit chilly.

Zeng Wen knocked on the door of the room, "Son, Mom cut some fruit for you."

"Enter."

Hearing the voice from inside the door, Zeng Wen pushed the door open and entered. Seeing her son standing by the window, she sighed in grief. Since that day, her son has always been suspicious, and she didn't know what to do to help. son.

"Son, have you decided on your wish?" Zeng Wen asked.

Jiang Xiyan let go of the curtain and shook his head: "Not yet, but we probably have a direction."

When Zeng Wen heard this, her eyes lit up, and she asked with a smile, "Is it the University of Finance and Economics, or the University of Medicine?"

Although she hasn't heard his son's answer yet, Zeng Wen has already begun to think about his son's future, "Son, your uncle is in the investment business. He said that when you graduate in the future, you can go to work in his company directly. No matter how many people try to break through a top [-] company, they won’t be able to get in.”

"If you want to study medicine, your uncle will be abroad. When you finish your undergraduate degree, your parents will send you to study abroad. My son is so smart, he might be the chief physician when he comes back!"

"Mom." Jiang Xiyan interrupted her mother's next words, "I will think about the matter of volunteering myself."

Zeng Wen's complexion changed, and she questioned: "I hear what you mean, do you plan to apply for finance and medicine? There are contacts in the family, and the road ahead will be easy. Why are you disobedient? Mom, will I hurt you?"

Seeing that Jiang Xiyan didn't say a word, Zeng Wen put down the fruit plate, turned around and left, "Report it, anyway, I'll change it back for you later. A child who was so good before, why is he so rebellious recently!"

Jiang Xiyan looked at the fruit plate on the table in a daze. Since he was a child, he has always aimed to gain the approval of his parents, but in the end, in the eyes of his mother, is he still a person who needs to rely on connections?

With a low laugh, he put all the early admission notices into the textbook and locked them in the drawer.

He turned his head to look at the window, picked up the desk lamp at the corner of the table, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Meow——" The little wild cat in its sleep was suddenly disturbed, and rushed out from the corner in a hurry, brushing the trouser legs of the man at the intersection.

The man frowned in disgust, kicked the kitten away, looked up at the window not far away, saw that the desk lamp in the room was still on, and snorted coldly.

Zeng Wen sat on the sofa and sulked for a long time, but after thinking about it, she shouldn't provoke her son at this time, so she went upstairs and knocked on his son's door, but no one answered.

Jiang Yi heard the sound and went upstairs, "What's going on?"

"My son doesn't open the door, could something have happened?" Zeng Wen shook the doorknob, but she still couldn't open it. When she was about to knock on the door, her husband stopped her.

Jiang Yi took his wife's hand, looked at the light coming from the crack of the door, and said in a low voice: "I guess my son is studying, and he will be fine at home."

Zeng Wen had no choice but to give up. When she went downstairs, she saw that the back door was open, and she muttered wonderingly: "It's strange, I forgot to lock it earlier?"

She looked around the door, but found nothing wrong, and locked the door again. There was a humming sound when the slightly rusty door panel was closed, which was very obvious at night.

Jiang Xiyan poked his head out from behind the corner. When he went out just now, he accidentally startled the kitten. He held his breath and hid here for a long time. After making sure that no one at the intersection had noticed it, he quietly left.

Before going out, he put the desk lamp by the basin and led it with a rope.There was a small piece of candle under the string, just enough to burn for two hours.

Not surprisingly, the rope will be burned within an hour, the lamp without support will fall into the water and go out, and the candle will burn out when the time comes.

While ensuring safety, he needs to create the illusion that he is still in the room.

On the last train to Changping Village, the street lights shone through the window into the dimly lit compartment, shining on Jiang Xiyan's face, and his eyes were full of determination.

Song Zhou stared at Liu Pi, and said calmly: "Officer Huang, who was in charge of this case, also came to you. You said that Gao Zhiqiang came to you before the accident, and you were talking about teaching experience, but not long after that, Something happened to him."

Liu Pi's hand trembled, and the two photos fell on the table. He sighed deeply: "Xiao Gao came to me back then, and said that he seemed to have changed into what I used to be, and asked me what should I do? He had an accident. Later, I suspected it was Sun Chaoyang, but Xiao Sun is also my student, so I didn't say anything."

Now Sun Chaoyang is already squatting in prison, so whether he said it before doesn't affect the result.

Shen Shu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you look like before? What did you look like?"

Liu Pi pursed his lips and said after a long time: "I...Xiao Sun used to have a very rich family, and his family would give me a little subsidy every month, so I took extra care of him, and even recommended him to study in the city. I also secretly left one for him.”

He recalled that afternoon, when Gao Zhiqiang, who hadn't returned to his hometown for a long time, suddenly came to him.

"Mr. Liu, I will become what I am today. You taught me well?"

"But... But I just take care of Xiao Sun a little bit." Liu Pi argued.

"One or several, does it make a difference?" Gao Zhiqiang sneered, "I studied so hard back then, and finally got the chance to study in the city. You can give it to Sun Chaoyang! If it wasn't for Zhong Dagui's accident, I'm afraid I will stay in this poor village for the rest of my life!"

Liu Pi frowned, and asked puzzledly, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

Gao Zhiqiang's eyes flashed, "Yeah, I wanted to forget these things a long time ago, but someone forced me to remember, he is coming to me! He is coming to me!"

Listening to Liu Pi's report, Song Zhou and Shen Shu looked at each other.

Song Zhou asked: "Did Gao Zhiqiang explain who this 'he' is?"

"No, but I always thought it was Sun Chaoyang." Liu Pi shook his head, he rested his forehead and sighed, "I know I was wrong. I only remember to teach, but I forgot to educate people. If I teach two students like this, they still have their own Student. I am harming someone!"

Song Zhou patted Liu Pi on the back, thinking about what he just said.

That is to say, Gao Zhiqiang has always hated Liu Pi's convenience to Sun Chaoyang, but according to Huang's previous investigation, Gao Zhiqiang had actually been secretly accepting bribes from his parents when he was teaching in Jiangxin No. [-] Middle School.

After leaving Liu Pi's house, Shen Shu couldn't help sighing: "The dragon slayer has finally become a dragon!"

Song Zhou put his hands in his pockets, thinking about it and said: "Shen Shu, after you go back, you and Gao Mang will check this Zhong's house."

Gao Mang has been in charge of intelligence in the police station, and Shen Shu's interpersonal relationship has always been good. With the cooperation of the two, I believe it can get twice the result with half the effort.

They have always ignored two people, the two sons of the Zhong family, elder brother Zhong Dafu and younger brother Zhong Dagui.

What role do they play in it?
