Chapter 33: Orphan Evidence
"It's not. Before the words fell, the man had already answered. He agreed to invite her to dinner on the day Chen Zhibiao was detained, and Chen Zhibiao was gouged out in prison after that.
Lin Xi looked sideways, not as lively and agile as she used to, her eyes were pale and pale, looking at Ye Zeyan but her gaze was not focused, "If I said about Chen Zhibiao, I just found out, do you believe it?"
Believe it?
The first time Ye Zeyan had an impression of Lin Xi was in the breakfast shop, she changed her appearance after a while, and he wondered whether this girl was not deeply involved in the world, or pretended to be a ghost and a simple horse.
"I didn't do it, and I didn't instruct anyone to do it," she didn't say as she had on the balcony before, and every word was clear, "but I know who did it." ”
Lin Xi couldn't read the man's expression, and considered how to explain Wen Renjin's existence. What she cares more about is how he will look at her after explaining.
But whether he said it or not, he seemed to have a different opinion of her because of Chen Zhibiao's accident. Thinking about it like this, the original tangled and uneasy mood is much more comfortable.
After being silent for a while, Lin Xun slowly opened his mouth, "Do you know Wen Renjin?"
Ye Zeyan didn't have to think about it, "I know." ”
This man who even has concerns about black and white on the top is like thunder. If he remembers correctly, before Lin Zhengxiong's car accident, Wen Renjin had just married Lin Zhengxiong's stepdaughter.
"Also, it's strange that you don't know. Lin Xi was sarcastic, it was for Wen Renjin, "He did it." ”
Ye Zeyan was not surprised, "Why did he do it?" ”
Lin Xi snorted coldly and didn't look at Ye Zeyan again, "Who knows." Perhaps, he is my brother-in-law. ”
The more light the words, the thicker the ridicule became.
She could only look at the side of his face, it was already dark, and the street lamps were falling, which didn't seem to be real.
The man's indifferent and deep voice sounded in his ears, "Your friend may not be so easy to file a case. In addition to the lack of evidence......"
"Xie Anlun is the illegitimate son of Zhou Ju. ”

Quiet in the apartment.
Lin Xicai coaxed Huizi to sleep, leaning back against the soft sofa. His eyes fell on the coffee table at random, his mind was empty, and he sat motionless for a long time.
Once in trouble, she would first think of Wen Renjin. Later, there was also the think tank You Yang. No matter how bad it is, there is also Huizi as her cathartic partner.
Now......
She didn't have a computer with her, so she finally took out her mobile phone and searched for Xie Anlun on the Internet.
LinkedIn profile picture, white and clean suits and leather shoes, with a blurred and bright office in the background, and floor-to-ceiling windows revealing the silhouette of the skyscrapers of the South City.
His resume is rich, and his age of 29 is estimated from the year he graduated.
Zhou Xiaotong is the daughter of Zhou Juzheng's wife, the same age as Lin Xi, so Xie Anlun is 6 or 7 years older than them.
Sliding up to the work experience part, from the flashback, they basically work in various large and small capital companies, and change jobs every other year, and the positions are all investment and financial consultants.
Lin Xi's eyes swept and finally landed on the company he was currently working for.
A name that I had only recently heard came into view.
Heh, kind of interesting.
*
The next day, Lin Xi woke up before 7 o'clock. I fell asleep last night with a mess of thoughts, and I didn't sleep well. She was not in a very good state of mind, and although she was very tired, she did not feel sleepy.
Got out of bed softly, and the people on the bed curled up in a small ball on the edge of the bed, and a small hill was raised.
Quietly closing the door, she washed her face, wrapped herself in a light brown blazer, went downstairs to buy breakfast nearby, and when she returned to the apartment, she heard the sound of a slight stream of water coming from the bedroom.
Lin Xi took out the breakfast he bought one by one and laid it out on the dining table. Passing by a flower shop, she also bought three sunflowers.
Her favorite flower, with its bright yellow color, warms people's hearts towards the light.
When Keiko came out of the bedroom, her face was pale and bloodless, and her eyes were red and swollen with a hint of blood.
"You didn't eat last night, I bought breakfast, come over and have some. ”
At the dining table, Huizi ate quietly, Lin Xi didn't find words, and the only thing that was quiet was the occasional birdsong outside the house.
"Xi, I'll be fine. ”
Lin Xi held the lunch box in his hand and stopped in place.
She didn't know how many thoughts flashed through Keiko's mind after one night, and she didn't know what kind of torment she had endured in her heart.
Lin Xi, "What are you going to do?"
Keiko said very lightly, without much expression on her face, "I'll get through it, but don't tell anyone." ”
She didn't explain it, but Lin Xi understood. His pupils shrank, "You're not going to tell An Lun?"
I didn't want to accuse Huizi, but the words still came out with a little doubt. But in the eyes of people who are full of grievances, a sinking heart is enough to arouse their temper.
"Do you know what the first thing he said when he got up from me? He didn't even apologize! He warned me not to think about calling the police, his father is the director, and he said I can't play with him!"
Lin Xi let her vent.
"Do you know how difficult it is to convict of rape? The first thing I did after he left was to take a shower! I wanted to wash everything inside and out! Do you and Ye Zeyan think I'm stupid and don't even know how to leave evidence? But I just felt disgusted at the time, and I just wanted to wash myself clean!" Huizi spoke almost without swearing, but by the end, she had already broken her voice.
She hugged her head and crouched down in place, clutching herself tightly. The whole body was holding back the grief and emotion, and the sobbing couldn't stop the whole body from trembling and sobbing.
has been involved with You Yang for so many years, she didn't give up, but she didn't fight for herself. Huizi has a hot temperament, as if everything can be light and light.
But at this time, the fragile appearance is really distressing.
Lin Xi thought that she could vent it for herself, and it was better to feel at ease than to say nothing and be bored.
Squatted beside her on his knees, hugged the person into his arms and comforted him, "How could I think you are stupid." You're not stupid, and you haven't done anything wrong. None of this is your fault. It's all gone, don't think about it, I'm here. ”
How pale the words were at times, these words of comfort, even she could not convince herself.
There is no evidence, and based on Huizi's confession alone, there is basically no possibility of a verdict as an isolated evidence. Coupled with Xie Anlun's identity as the illegitimate son of Zhou Ju, as Ye Zeyan said, it may be difficult to even file a case.
remembered that before Chen Zhibiao was in Jinya, I don't know how many women he had picked up corpses and raped them, but no one reported the case and there was no evidence, so he was at large for so long and repeatedly committed crimes.
Is it the fault of women's cowardice and care for their faces? Necessarily not. Is it the injustice of the law? Not at all.
For a moment, she even felt that Wen Renjin gouged out Chen Zhibiao's eyes, but she had eliminated evil and promoted good for the society.
The thought flashed through his mind and strangled him.
***
For the week after that, Lin Xi went back and forth between school, the company, and Huizi's apartment. After going on like this for a week, he was driven home by Keiko.
"You can't look at me for the rest of your life, and then come to my small apartment that really can't accommodate your big Buddha. ”
Keiko already looks like a normal person a lot of the time, but occasionally she sits on the sofa, and the next second she suddenly starts crying.
She and Lin Xi promised to return to work next week.
Life is back on track, and everything can be washed away by time and eventually forgotten.
Lin Xi's life has entered a new stage. She had a lot to learn about the acquisition of the imperial capital, and she sometimes hid important information after class and asked the professor for advice.
Inevitably, I have more contact with Wen Renjin at work. The two made an appointment to discuss in the company, and the other party proposed a restaurant and café, but Lin Xi naturally would not agree.
I have to admit that Wen Renjin is very smart, tough and decisive, dealing with the company during the day and the black market at night, everything is handled in an orderly manner. When he explained to Lin Xi about the analysis of the market, Lin Xi would feel that he had benefited a lot from the initiation, and then his attitude towards him gradually calmed down, and he was no longer always cynical and prickly, but that's all.
And this involvement also made Lin Xi inexplicably retreat from the other man. She even deliberately did not return to the Mingyu Mansion, worried about the embarrassment of meeting Ye Zeyan.
After nearly a month of continuous rotation, maybe she didn't let herself, or maybe she was really busy and didn't have time, she hadn't thought much about Ye Zeyan recently.
Until the meeting of the acquisition case was held on this day, and Wen Renjin came out of the company's elevator.
During the lunch break, the white-collar workers of the headquarters of Langyi South City were in a hurry, and the lobby was bustling with people. She and Wen Renjin went one after the other, followed by their respective secretaries. She saw Wen Renjin stop on the sofa in the rest area and subconsciously looked over.
Lin Xi slowed down and gradually saw the person who came, and the "curiosity for knowledge" she had cultivated in the past month drove her to say hello.
"Teacher Li. Lin Xi took off his sunglasses.
Li Zhiqing was talking to Wen Renjin with a sad face, but he was interrupted by someone who came, and his expression didn't have time to take back, and a moment of panic flashed and was captured by Lin Xi.
"Why are you here?" Since he called her a teacher, Lin Xi also used an honorific title.
Li Zhiqing looked up at Wen Renjin, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Lin Xun squinted slightly, his expression was puzzled but meaningful, and continued to ask, "You know each other?"
Wen Renjin asked rhetorically with her question, "You know each other?"
"She's my professional counselor. Lin Xun replied, how could Wen Renjin not know about his personal essence?
The corners of his mouth curled up with a sly smile, "Then what is your relationship?"
"Mr. Wen is an alumnus of NTU," Li Zhiqing suddenly spoke, preempting Wen Renjin, "The school has sponsorship matters and wants to discuss with him, I ...... today That's what I'm here for today. ”
Lin Xi and Li Zhiqing are not familiar with each other, the last time they met was in the faculty office to sign up for the sports meeting, and they also met Ye Zeyan to ask questions. After a few faces, since Lin Xi was not familiar with her, he didn't understand the way she spoke.
If she found another reason, Lin Xi might just listen to it and shrug and forget about it. But this panic was too obvious, and Lin Xi's already unclear face had a hint of a smile.
She didn't comment, the corners of her mouth hooked, and her apricot eyes were covered with banter and glanced at Wen Renjin again.
Wen Renjin told Lin Xi that he had not gone to college, and that he had made a fake background after whitewashing, and that the school was not NTU. However, if he really wants to fulfill this lie, his name will appear tomorrow among the previous graduates of NTU.
These two people, who should have had nothing to do with each other, actually knew each other, and Li Zhiqing made up a set of lame lies to cover up in a hurry, which led people to think about it.
Lin Xi didn't care much about their relationship, and cared more about whether the acquaintance of the two was a coincidence or designed by Wen Renjin.
The four eyes met for three seconds, and Secretary Yang reminded softly in his ear, "Mr. Ji will be here soon." ”
Lin Xi retracted his gaze.
Secretary Chong Yang nodded, and put on a fake smile on the formula, "The two of you will talk slowly, I'll go first." ”
