Chapter 55: Collapse
Lin Xi returned to the hotel and checked out of the room, and then drove back to Nancheng. She thought about it, more things are better than less, and she didn't go to visit her mother's relatives.
Ye Zeyan couldn't tell how long he would stay in Liuxian.
The school was closed, and Lin Xi became an office worker every day. Company, Mingyu.
During this period, she also sorted out the real estate at hand, and she could exchange the internship for credits next semester, and she planned to take a few courses, so she might as well move to the city to live. I really picked a two-room apartment, which is a five-minute walk from Ye Zeyan's Jianglan No. 1. Lin Xi felt that it was very suitable, and asked Secretary Yang to take care of it for her, planning to move over after the New Year.
The time came to the eve of the China Merchants Association.
Lin Xi was busy and happy in Nancheng, but Ye Zeyan in Liuxian was tired and angry.
The human trafficking gang behind Song Xiaoran was caught, but Song Xiaoran died. Under the noses of the police, the cause of death was arsenic poisoning, which was the same as the cause of death of Jin Ya.
The man who bought her was also arrested for buying trafficked women and children. But he insisted that he did not poison Song Xiaoran, and that Song Xiaoran was pregnant at that time, and he was waiting for a woman to give him a big fat boy. In addition to the lack of motive, the forensic deduced time of death, the man was playing mahjong with people in the teahouse, and it was there that he was also caught.
The reason why the man came out to play mahjong so confidently was because he would chain Song Xiaoran to the bed every time he went out to prevent her from escaping.
A police officer who was secretly monitoring and protecting Song Xiaoran said that when another police officer went to lunch that day, he went to the toilet in a nearby Maokeng to go to the toilet, which coincided with the time when Song Xiaoran was poisoned and killed.
Thinking about it carefully, the person who poisoned it seemed to know the existence of the police, and after observing the police's every move, he found the right time to kill the person.
The Nancheng police officer in charge of surveillance was very self-blaming, looking at the criminal investigation captain with a dark and cold face in front of him, his heart was full of guilt. Ye Zeyan was in no mood to comfort the police officers at this time, and a fire broke out in his heart, "People can be succeeded by criminals right under their noses? How many years have you been patrolling? Such a low-level mistake is embarrassing to make?"
With a "bang", Ye Zeyan was almost angry after scolding, and a poor chair was kicked down by the wall in response.
The entire office was silent, and everyone from Nancheng looked at their captain in amazement. Don't look at Ye Zeyan, he can usually get along with Yan Huanhuan in private, but when it comes to work, he can't tolerate flaws. What's more, this incident was a completely low-level mistake that could have been avoided and a life could have been saved.
The man hadn't been so angry for a long time, his brows were tightly knit and his temples were pounding. He clenched his fists tightly, snorted unhappily, and stepped forward to hold up the chair that he had kicked away.
He exhaled deeply and softened his tone, "If you weren't one of my Ye Zeyan's subordinates today, I wouldn't care about you, and I wouldn't let a fart go." β
"Captain, we were wrong, you punish us, whatever you want. The two police officers hurriedly came out with their heads down and continued to admit their mistakes.
"What's the use of punishing you, can you bring Song Xiaoran back to life if you punish him?!"
Everyone obediently shut up and pursed their lips to sneak a glance at him.
"But it should be punished, it should be punished severely. You two, the 10,000-word report is ready, and it will be placed on my desk tomorrow. β
After speaking coldly, Ye Zeyan opened the door and left. He was very irritable, but after all, the tutor was there, and he resisted the urge to slam the door.
Although the human trafficking group was caught, but Song Xiaoran was killed under the supervision and protection of the police, the boss must be blamed, thinking about it is not only big, but also hot.
I urgently need a cigarette to keep my emotions down.
However, because Song Xiaoran and Jin Ya had the same cause of death, it seemed to verify that he had previously felt that the two cases seemed to be related, and it was very likely that the same person did it.
He remembered that Li Zhiqing had been in the same black SUV as Song Xiaoran when he disappeared, and now that the human trafficking group had been caught, it was time to start an investigation from her.
*
The criminal investigation team rushed back to Nancheng from Liuxian overnight that day.
Although sometimes he is lost and empty, Lin Xi knows that Ye Zeyan is busy, and he has not called him during this time, so he sends messages and greetings every morning and evening.
For a person like Ye Zeyan who is so busy that he doesn't have time to read text messages, she doesn't expect to be swiped by him if she can send a circle of friends asking for attention.
Fortunately, Lin Xi herself is also busy, and she is trying to become a better version of herself. Sometimes she is conquered by her career brain, she is busy and ignores things outside the window, and after working hard, she will fly to the sky happily when she is recognized by Liang Lu.
I have the illusion that I am really a strong woman.
After the last meeting of the China Merchants Association on Friday, she was assigned on-site control. Liang Lu told her that there was nothing to do for Langyi, and that there were its own staff in the city, so she took it as an opportunity to learn and experience.
After the meeting, he sent a good morning text message to Ye Zeyan and asked him when he would return to Nancheng. The man replied that he had just returned and was in the bureau, but he would be busy reporting in the next few days. Look for her when you're free.
She was dragged by April to accompany them to dance, and she really hoped that they could dance well, so she was always willing to go to the sparring partner.
In the past, at high school and university parties, I saw the kind of show that danced sparsely and didn't have a few movements in place under the name of a dance troupe, and Lin Xi would be embarrassed when he watched it.
Thinking of the annual meeting of the imperial capital, all the bigwigs from all walks of life came, although few people would really care about the performance of the employees, after all, the highlight was the invited celebrity artists and idols, but she still didn't want to embarrass Langyi.
At least don't disgrace the Southside headquarters.
She has experience in hip-hop dancing, so every time she goes, if she can give some advice, she will point it out truthfully.
But every time she went, she had to turn down an invitation for them to perform on the same stage. If she were a small employee of the company, she would not be so hypocritical and repeatedly refused, but after all, she was a person who wanted to inherit the family property, and Lin Xi felt that dancing for a group of bigwigs as her was a bit cheap.
She didn't want to go out to talk to people about business in the future, no one would take her seriously, and only she danced a Douyin Internet celebrity dance at the annual meeting of Lavida in her mind.
After the dance practice, everyone found a hot pot restaurant together and had dinner.
April continued to pester Lin Xi's reluctance to go on stage with them.
"Lindsey, you dance so well and look cute, maybe you will be signed by a company after performing?"
"Uh......" Lin Xi didn't know how to reply to her for a while, "That, I don't like to show my head very much." β
Although Yan Yi has acknowledged Lin Xi's dancing ability after getting along during this time, he still can't help but slander, and he doesn't like to show off his face to show off his dancing there.
Girls sometimes just don't want to let go of girls.
Yan Yi asked, "Lin Xi, you are a management trainee, which department will you go to in the marketing department?"
Lin Xi tilted his head and thought for a while, "I'm not sure yet, but I studied finance, and after thinking about it, it may be the investment or operation department, but it should be after the year." β
Yan Yi is also skillful in asking. Although Lavida's management trainees have more choices than ordinary interns, they are basically not assigned by the company to go wherever they are.
Lin Xi can still choose by himself, and it is conceivable that the relationship with the top management is not ordinary.
Lin Xi had just entered the workplace, and his heart was already big, so when Yan Yi asked casually, the other people here, except for April, were all employees who had worked in the company for a while, so they naturally understood.
You said that Nancheng is so big, and Lin Xi didn't expect to meet Yao Qian and Ai Xin here.
She usually can't remember people's names, but Ai Xin's name is really simple and easy to remember. She remembered that day when she and Tiffany walked to the furniture on the second floor of the imperial capital, she couldn't help but compare the shape of a heart with her hands, put it in front of her face, and confirmed with Tiffany that she heard correctly.
At that time, Tiffany laughed exaggeratedly, "Mugwort, wormwood." Relieved joy. β
Lin Xi sat on the side, so when Yao Qian walked through their big table wearing big sunglasses and walked out of the door, she passed by proudly, but Ai Xin caught a glimpse of Lin Xi stopping. Seeing Lin Xi looking at him, he smiled slightly, making sure he was not mistaken.
"Coincidentally, you are Lin ......" Ai Xin really forgot for a while.
The other party wore a camel-colored coat today, with a gray tight-fitting sweater and long skirt inside, with a slender and slender figure, with a height that Lin Xi envied, and the visual measurement was 1.7 meters up.
Lin Xi smiled and signed up for his own number, "Ai Xin, right, it's quite a coincidence." β
Yao Qian walked to the door, and when she saw that Ai Xin didn't follow, she noticed the movement behind her and walked back. Seeing Lin Xi's already disdainful and arrogant face, it became even colder.
There was no way, although Lin Xi was disgusted with her, he wanted to woo Mr. Yao and lick Yao Qiande together, and greeted the other party politely.
Yao Qian stood just enough for her to look at people with her nostrils, and snorted by the way, "Colleague dinner?"
She and Lin Xi should have met at the annual meeting in the imperial capital when they were children, but because the age difference between the two was just staggered, and when they remembered, they didn't have any more intersections at the cocktail party.
"Yes, they are all colleagues of Lavida. As he spoke, he turned his head and introduced Yao Qian to everyone at the table, "Yao Qian, the daughter of President Yao in North China." β
"Wow. There were a few exclamations in the crowd.
Yao Qian thought she was pretending to be disdainful, but the curvature of the corners of her mouth was still captured by Lin Xi. Who doesn't have the vanity that is sought after, she herself has it, Lin Xi empathizes with her.
After the two left, April asked Lin Xi how he met Yao Qian.
Lin Xi scolded himself in his heart, licking the dog mentality for a while, and only remembered to forget about Yao Qian's long face.
"When I was studying abroad, I had a girlfriend who was from the imperial capital, and I met once at a party. "The tried and tested excuse made everyone laugh over.
"She should have come to Nancheng with Mr. Yao. It is said that the presidents of several subdivisions of the China Merchants Association also came. β
Everyone was eating a small hot pot and talking about all kinds of gossip about the company, some team members, some team leaders, and even some management. Lin Xi has a kind of experience of Kangxi Weifu private interview.
"I told you that the male leader of our group is very disgusting, and every time he goes out, he has to rub oil, and now there are few people in the group who are willing to go to customer meetings with him except for the girl who wants to climb up and play with him. β
Lin Xi silently took out his mobile phone and wrote down the name of the harassing team leader.
"I'd rather my team leader rub my oil and take me out every day to spend all day drinking. Our group is simply not done by people, and we are complained by guests at every turn, and we call people to get up in the middle of the night for urgent public relations. β
Lin Xi felt that this was a bit ruthless and needed to be rectified, but the work spirit was commendable.
"Hey, our group opened a bastard last month and waited for death, that's what is called cool. That man has been working at Lavida for at least seven or eight years, and he has not been promoted to management. Cheng Tian has an arrogant posture, and he is really the team leader and director, and he yells at us newcomers to do things every day. β
Lin Xi also felt that such a person should be opened.
After the meal, there was a KTV bureau, Lin Xi didn't plan to go, but because of the large number of people, she still kindly drove her colleagues to the destination, and was finally persuaded to follow into the box.
She really hasn't been to KTV since she returned to China this year. Sitting in a "familiar" environment, she felt a little strange at this time.
Lin Xi ordered the song before it was her turn, and opened WeChat casually, the [Sunset Red Elderly Social Group] was as lively as ever, and the second ancestors would have activities on Friday night.
It's just that it's rare not to be in Vixx tonight, she clicked on the picture and analyzed it for a while, it's a bar on Bar Street.
She clicked on Huizi's WeChat again, and asked her to come out to play, just like Zhang Peng before. Lin Xi slid up a few times and saw the video of their New Year's Eve party on Vixx that Huizi had posted before.
She didn't seem to have clicked on the download at the time, but when she opened it, she saw Duan Xuyang greeting the camera at the end of the video.
Lin Xi only had four words in his mind at that time, and the ghost was still lingering.
As soon as I looked at it, there was no text message from Ye Zeyan. Hey, I didn't look for her when I went back to Nancheng, Lin Xi was a little lost.
She drove tonight, she didn't plan to drink, Xu was emotionally blessed, Xu was a little drunkard, and her body became restless again.
sent a message in the group, asking if everyone was still in the bar, and got Zhang Peng's affirmative reply, she thought about it, and it was the most difficult to find a substitute driver, and left after saying goodbye to everyone at KTV.
But when she arrived at the Qing Bar, she only saw a few second ancestors, but not Huizi.
"Where's she?"
"I was sent back by Duan Xuyang. Zhang Peng handed Lin Xi a shot, Lin Xi poured it down, the familiar burning sensation passed through his throat and warmed his stomach, and the whole person relaxed.
"Duan Xuyang?" the unexpected answer, "What about You Yang?"
"Sister Xi," Zhang Peng pulled the person to his side and said bitterly, "You don't have to worry about the two of them anymore." Brother You wants to like Huizi, and the two have been together for a long time, I think if you hadn't been matching the two, You Yang wouldn't have given that face, and Huizi wouldn't have been mistaken for thinking that the two had a show. They're all adults, do you really think high school students play innocent love?"
Qi Xiuyuan put down the girl in his hand, and also came over and echoed, "That's it, You Yang lives in a white moonlight in his heart, and there is no one to replace him." I'll tell you something again, on New Year's Eve, You Yang left with Jiang Linlin, and then Huizi also left with Duan Xuyang. β
βWhatγ Theγ Fuck?" Lin Xi blurted out.
"Really, it's fucked up like that. Zhang Peng continued.
"Fuck your sister, are you sure they didn't mean to be angry with each other?" Lin Xi knew that these two couldn't make it, and she hadn't thought about getting them together for a long time. But at the moment, she was shocked by the huge amount of information, and wanted to rebuild her collapsed outlook on life.
Zhang Peng and Qi Xiuyuan shrugged together, they couldn't take care of the affairs of buddy You Yang, and they were too lazy to take care of the affairs of Huizi.
Lin Xi didn't care what You Yang was doing at this time, a person who studied the law couldn't do much out of the ordinary. It's just a little re-acquainted with him, Lin Xi has always thought that You Yang is different from other Fa Xiao, he is a brother, a think tank, not messing with flowers, with the aura of a lawyer's profession, and a great image.
"Ok, now I don't care about You Yang and Jiang Linlin, who will make up for me how Duan Xuyang hooked up with Huizi?"
"Sister Xi, didn't you reject others, why are you still interested in him?" Lin Xi said just now, and even Shao Yi, who was making love with his girlfriend in the corner, was interested. Leng Buding came to a sentence.
Lin Xi resisted the urge to pick up a bottle of wine and pour it on him.
"You're all blind, which eye sees that I'm interested in him?" Lin Xi was a little angry, trying to defend himself.
Zhang Peng immediately felt her anger, and hurriedly handed her another shot for her to slow down, and finally gave her a cigarette, which was slapped away by Lin Xi.
"I don't know what inexplicable thoughts you have instilled in Duan Xuyang, he is definitely not pure-minded, don't let him harm Huizi. β
She was worried that Huizi would be deceived by a brute like Xie Anlun before, so she called Huizi as she spoke, but she didn't answer on the other end, and Lin Xi was instantly irritable.
She was very afraid of repeating Xie Anlun's mistake before, she still blamed herself a little for it, but she couldn't say more to the hair boys.
The only thing that can be said is Ye Zeyan. Without thinking about it, she grabbed her bag and walked out, calling the man.
When she walked to the door of the bar, the phone was picked up.
"What's wrong with Lin Xi?"
When Lin Xi heard his deep voice, his emotions instantly softened, and he felt that his grievances had a place to vent.
"Is Captain Ye at home?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, "It's still in the bureau." β
On the two shots, Lin Xun was a little less reserved, "Can I go to you?"
"What's wrong, where are you?" Ye Zeyan's voice was a little more worried.
"No, I just miss you a little bit. β
was worried that something would happen to Huizi, but she couldn't call Ye Zeyan out because of this kind of thing that she guessed might happen. If the police are reported on this ground, they may also be punished for obstructing official business and reporting false police.
The man on the other end of the phone tightened his cheeks, "The case over there in Liuxian has just been concluded, and I have been busy reporting it in the past few days, and I will look for you when I am done." β
At the end, he whispered, "Okay?"
Three words soothed Lin Xi's irritable heart, she sighed deeply, pursed her mouth, and replied obediently, "Okay, Captain Ye has worked hard, rest well." β
After hanging up Lin Xi's phone, Ye Zeyan walked back to the living room from the balcony, looked at the woman who fell on the blue sofa, and licked his back molars.
Thirty minutes ago, there was a knock on the door of the apartment, and a drunken woman was standing outside the door. Seeing him open the door, he couldn't help but say, crashed into the door and hugged Ye Zeyan's waist.
Before Ye Zeyan could react, the woman's lips kissed him and pushed him all the way into the house.
When he reacted, he directly took the woman off his body, and the other party staggered two steps on high heels, and then pounced again, hooking his neck.
"What's the matter? I haven't done it for so long, I don't want it?" Ai Xin hung on him, smiling very charmingly, and the hand that hooked Ye Zeyan's neck was also uneasy, and slipped to his ear and touched it a few times.
