I don't have ulterior motives

Because it was too late, Jin Bei only sent a text message to Liao Fangyuan when he went back last night, telling him about the Xia family's plan to immigrate.There was no reply from Liao Fangyuan either.

Didn't even say thank you?After finishing his morning reading, Jin Bei looked out the window and thought strangely, this is not like Liao Fangyuan's style.Has the other party received it?

He was about to make a phone call to ask, when a text message from Liao Fangyuan came.

"Wang Lianjun died last night. But the case has made new progress."

died?

Jin Bei looked at his watch, the first class was about to start, he walked out from the back door, climbed two floors, walked to the roof, and dialed Liao Fangyuan's phone.

"Hey, what's going on?" He asked as soon as he got connected.

"Wang Lianjun died around ten o'clock last night. The cause of death was arsenic poisoning, and the current judgment is that he committed suicide in fear of crime." Liao Fangyuan said solemnly.

"how is this possible?"

"Of course it's impossible. Both the inmates and the food delivery person are suspects, but the problem is that when we asked him, everyone in his cell said that Wang Lianjun had never eaten anything other than the food delivered by the prison."

"What about the monitoring in the cell?"

"It's true from the monitoring, but the possibility of a blind spot cannot be ruled out. In short, whether it's the inmates or someone inside the police who poisoned, the person behind it is very capable."

"Either it has penetrated into the police, or it can seal the mouths of all prisoners."

"Ah."

"Could it be Xia Qiming?" Jin Bei asked after pondering for a moment.

"This is the new development I told you. If you go online, you will probably find that today's hot search is: Shocked! Xia Qiming, the owner of Liangshan Group, is suspected of fraud! Xia Qiming had handled a batch of financial futures two years ago, and it was at that time The problem. At 58:[-] this morning, this news appeared in a post bar, and the evidence was posted in detail. Although it has not been confirmed, the major websites have already exploded as news."

"Is Xia Qiming still in the country?" Jin Bei hurriedly asked.

"Yes. After Wang Lianjun died last night, and we received your news at eleven o'clock, we sent people to monitor Xia's house overnight. The next morning, before six o'clock, Xia Qiming's car drove out, and we After driving for a few minutes, they received news from the Internet, directly stopped Xia's car, and found that the whole family was in the car, and they have now been arrested by the police."

"I received an online message within a few minutes? It's a coincidence."

"The other party may be monitoring the Xia family. Maybe they are very familiar with the Xia family, so familiar that Xia Qiming told him the plan."

Are you familiar with...

Jin Bei thought for a while, and said: "As soon as Wang Lianjun died, Xia Qiming was exposed to an old case... If Xia Qiming killed Wang Lianjun, then before he had time to escape, a mysterious person would attack him... If not He, the one who killed Wang Lianjun and the one who broke the news on the Internet should not be the same force, so it would be even more troublesome." Jin Bei curled his lips, it was originally just a business competition murder, how did it become so complicated.

Liao Fangyuan asked with interest: "Isn't it a faction?"

"The purpose of killing Wang Lianjun is to silence him, that is, not to involve him in the Xia family, and the revelation is obviously to drag the Xia family into trouble. These two purposes are opposite, and they should not be the same party."

"That makes sense. But is it possible that the other party is Xia Qiming's accomplice and also involved in the body dismemberment case. Wang Lianjun knew him, and he killed Wang Lianjun to silence his story; he pushed Xia Qiming out to divert attention and get rid of himself?"

"A partner?" Jin Bei instantly thought of what Liao Fangyuan said that day, Xia Qiming said that after sending Zheng Cheng away, he was at Shu Pingyuan's house.

"But if it's an accomplice, won't he be afraid that Xia Qiming will confess him if he sends Xia Qiming to the police?"

"Perhaps the other party is sure that he left no trace in the case of dismembering the corpse, so even with Xia Qiming's unilateral remarks, the other party can still say that Xia is slandering. And once Xia Qiming is arrested for other reasons and goes to prison , so there is no way to threaten him with this matter on other occasions in the future, such as business."

Jin Bei felt that Liao Fangyuan was clearly pointing at Shu Pingyuan.

"But if Xia Qiming's current confession can't convict that person, it will be difficult to use it as a threat in the future."

"It's been dragging on for a long time, and it's hard to guarantee that someone will not get caught. It's better to cut the mess quickly and solve it together."

Jin Bei was silent for a while, and said, "It makes sense, but it's just speculation."

"Yes." The other side also fell silent.

Liao Fangyuan asked again: "By the way, how did you know that the Xia family is going to immigrate?"

"...Xia Ruoxing held a birthday party at Casanova, I overheard it."

There was a moment of silence, and then Liao Fangyuan said slowly, "What a coincidence?"

Jin Bei also felt a little strange.But Casanova restaurant is already famous, if it is really a coincidence, it makes sense.

"We will ask Xia Ruoxing how he chose this store."

"Yes." Jin Bei eagerly wanted to know the answer.

Returning to the classroom after the first period, Jin Bei looked at Shu Linan's back in black and white school uniform in the front row, and couldn't help poking him.

Shu Linan turned around and looked at him curiously.

Jin Bei pretended to ask casually: "Do you know about Xia Ruoxing?"

Shu Lin'an raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing, according to the news. The Xia family seems to be involved in a case. Xia Ruoxing's father was arrested this morning."

Shu Linan's surprise was just right, neither exaggerated nor abrupt: "Really? No wonder he told me yesterday..."

Knowing the wishes of the Xia family to immigrate, the police station will deploy defenses near the Xia residence.Maybe it was found out by myself, maybe Shu Lin'an didn't know anything but that the Xia family had this plan.Jin Bei thought to himself, take a gamble.

He showed a look of half hesitation and half curiosity: "It was circulated on the Internet this morning that Xia Qiming was the mastermind of the fraud case two years ago. But--a friend of mine is a criminal policeman. Before the news broke, the Xia family was also involved in a case of corpse dismemberment, which happened last week, and now they suspect that Xia Qiming is also behind the scenes."

Shu Lin'an nodded, but replied with a strange point: "You have a lot of friends."

"Ah, it's okay." Jin Bei couldn't hear any irony or suspicion in the other party's words, but just a simple exclamation.He continued: "But in the morning news, the reason for Xia Qiming's arrest was only suspected of fraud. I was thinking that this news would come out sooner or later, and it happened when Xia Qiming was related to the corpse case. Could it be that there are people behind the body dismemberment case, and Xia Qiming is not the one in charge?"

Shu Lin'an thought for a while, and answered seriously: "If it's like what you said, it may be that the other party seized the opportunity of the body dismemberment case, and released the evidence that has always been there when the police are paying close attention to the Xia family. In this way, The dismemberment case is just an opportunity for whistleblowers."

"Well... that makes sense too."

"However," Shu Lin'an suddenly changed the subject, "If there is someone leading the case of dismembering the corpse, it's possible." He pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about something, and then said flatly, "Both the Xia family and his son are nothing too serious. It is very scheming, and it is likely to be sold and paid for by others.”

"What's the matter?" Surprised by Jin Bei's silence, Shu Lin'an asked.

"It's nothing, I was just wondering if one day you sold me and I counted the money for you." Jin Bei joked.

Shu Linan looked at him with clear eyes like a deer in the forest, but Jin Bei didn't know what was buried under those clear pools.

"No, I can't bear it." Shu Lin'an laughed.

It was obviously a joke, but Jin Bei felt as if he had his guarantee, and he was relieved.

"Well... don't you feel sorry for Xia Ruoxing?" Jin Bei asked with his hands on his chin.

"Sympathy."

"You don't look like you have any sympathy for him."

Shu Lin'an stared at him, and after a while, he pursed his lips and smiled: "Does it look like that?"

"..."

"It's easy for me to look like I sympathize with him."

Shu Linan simply turned around and put his elbow on Jin Bei's desk: "But I don't feel it at all, but it's really troublesome to pretend to be sympathetic to others." Shu Linan looked out of the window, "I don't even If you don’t understand yourself, how can you understand others.”

After saying it, Shu Lin'an immediately regretted it, and bluntly revealed his feelings to the other party, how could he do such a thing.

But Jin Bei didn't pay attention to the second half of his sentence, his attention was all on the first half.Inconsiderate of myself.However, the other party is impeccably excellent in terms of character, grades, and family background. To Jin Bei, no, to the entire Chongling, he is like a star.It's the kind of character who wears a uniform and speaks at the senior meeting, and the girls below will look at him with admiration.

Is it because of this kind of excellence that you have to do your best to demand yourself?

Or are you used to being asked by others?

Jin Bei's silence made Shu Lin'an a little uneasy.He raised his head slightly and glanced at Jin Bei secretly. The other party didn't show surprise or disgust, but seemed to be thinking about something.

"Are your parents strict with you?"

"Huh?" Shu Linan was taken aback by the sudden question.

"can you?"

Shu Lin'an retracted his arms, and turned slightly to face the window: "...I don't know."

Jin Bei looked at him and smiled softly: "It's okay to relax a bit. You are already so good, you don't need to be better."

Shu Linan raised his eyes, he had never seen such a look on the other person's face.

He had never seen such a look on any face in his life so far.

"Really?" he asked in a low voice.

"Yes."

Jin Bei thought, the light of Shu Linan's star is so beautiful that people want to get close to that light, even if they might get burned.

The author has something to say:

Jin Bei: I was wondering if one day you sold me and I counted the money for you.

Shu Lin'an: No.Who else can bid higher than me.

Jin Bei: ...
