Back to the evening of the day after the murder.

In the study, the old-fashioned desk lamp was on.

The man on the phone said in a deep voice: "Old man, Jiang Zhi has gone to see Prophet Peng." ”

The mobile phone was placed on the table, Luo Huaiyu put his hands on crutches, and the person standing next to him held his breath.

Luo Huaiyu asked, "Did you listen to the content of the conversation?"

Meetings in prison are usually met by landlines, especially for felons, and conversations are monitored.

The other party said that he didn't hear it, and explained: "The fourth son of the Qiao family is also here, and I can't intervene." ”

Jiang Zhi talked to Prophet Peng, Luo Huaiyu guessed that he was not clear about Prophet Peng's attitude, and instructed the person on the phone: "Keep an eye on me." ”

"Yes. ”

After hanging up, Luo Huaiyu directly smashed the mobile phone.

There were two rings in a row, the first one hit someone's head, the second one fell to the ground, and the screen suddenly fell apart.

Luo Huaiyu was furious and scolded: "There is not enough success, and there are more failures." ”

The man was smashed by the mobile phone and shook his feet, and immediately stood up again, put his hands in front of him, and lowered his head: "I'm sorry chairman, it was my mistake." ”

The man's name is Chen Li, more than 30 years old, with a criminal record, and he is a security guard at Luo's headquarters.

Luo Huaiyu was still angry, and asked sharply: "I only let you take things, who told you to kill someone?" As soon as Peng Zhongming died, Peng Xian became a time bomb.

Chen Li defended: "I didn't kill him, I only knocked him unconscious." ”

"You didn't kill it," Luo Huaiyu asked loudly, "Who killed that?"

Chen Li couldn't answer, his head was lowered, and his palms were sweating.

Peng Huaiyu's face was gloomy, he was silent for a while, and asked, "Where is the thing, have you found it?"

"Peng Zhongming's place of residence has already been searched. Chen Li shook his head, the look on his face was sincerely frightened, "There is nothing, it should be, it should have been intercepted." ”

When people die, things haven't been obtained, it's the worst outcome.

Luo Huaiyu rubbed the dragon head on the cane, muttered for a long time, threw the document bag in the drawer on the table, and ordered in a deep voice: "Check." ”

When the document bag opened, the contents fell on the table, and it was a book - "Be a Good Man".

When Jiang Zhi came out of the Western Prison, it was getting dark, and as soon as he came out of the prison gate, he saw a person squatting on the side of the road, very obediently squatting side by side.

Like a mushroom growing on the ground.

Jiang Zhi walked over, stretched out his hand and pointed at her head: "What are you doing squatting here?"

She raised her head and put a big mask on her face: "Wait for you." ”

The ground was full of small stones, and they were placed in two words - Jiang Weaving.

This little cutie.

Jiang Zhi stretched out his hand to her, and she grabbed it, got up and let him lead her.

The car was parked on the opposite road.

On this road at the entrance of the prison, there are few vehicles, few pedestrians, no crosswalks, and no traffic lights.

"Did you buy a tape recorder?"

Zhou Xufang said: "I bought it." "In the bag.

"Did you hear that?"

"Nope. She said, "I'll hear it with you." ”

The thing in Peng Zhongming's hand was a tape, and Zhou Xufang intercepted it.

Yesterday when she came out of the supermarket, she got the information sent by Frostfall, and she recognized Peng Zhongming, taking the supermarket as the central point, it only took half an hour for Frostfall to find Peng Zhongming's address.

Zhou Xufang transferred the contents of the document bag before Peng Zhongming went out.

After getting into the car, she couldn't wait, so she took out the tape and the old-fashioned tape recorder that she had bought after running all over the imperial capital, installed it, and pressed the switch.

“distance。 ”

The first to come out was the girl's voice, practicing spoken English.

“expression。 ”

“......”

“flashcard。 ”

“vocabulary。 ”

After reading a few in a row, the girl became impatient, and as soon as the book fell, she began to vent her emotions, maybe she forgot that the tape recorder was still on, and scolded: "Luo Qinghe, you big fool!"

Zhou Xufang can be sure that this is Luo Yinghe when he was young.

She was arrogant and domineering, and her mouth was open: "Your mother is a psychopath!"

"Your dad is a big brute!"

"You're a psychopath!"

After scolding, he was still angry, and kicked over the stool, and there was a clatter in the tape.

A voice in the distance shouted, "Yinghe." ”

"Yinghe. ”

Luo Yinghe was impatient: "What are you doing?"

It was her mother who was calling to her, "Come on." ”

She got up and went out scolding, without turning off the tape recorder, still recording.

After about seven or eight minutes, there were footsteps, one in front and one in the back.

"Miss, you're looking for me. ”

Jiang Zhi heard this voice: "It's Prophet Peng." ”

Luo Ying had not been an adult for a long time at that time, and she was arrogant and calm not like a girl of that age: "I met a few people at the door just now, saying that I was looking for Master Peng, it seems that you are here to collect the debt, and I have already asked people to drive them away." ”

Peng Xianxian is a horticulturist who has worked in the Locke plantation for several years.

"I'm sorry Miss, I'm sorry for the trouble. The tone sounded respectful.

"No hassle. After a pause, "It's you, Master Peng, I'm afraid there will be some trouble." The girl was unhurried, as if she was idle with him, "I heard that those people in the casino who collect money dare to do anything, and if they can't get the money, it's light to cut off their hands and feet." ”

There was a bang.

Peng Xian knelt down: "Miss, please help me." ”

"Help? There was a clatter in the tape, and it was a girl knocking on the flower stand, "Then Master Peng wants to do something for me too?"

"Miss, just say it. ”

The tape was so old that it was a little stuttering despite its careful preservation.

The footsteps came and went, and it was a girl walking around the flower shed, and she said, "My mother liked to come to this flower shed the most when she was alive, how about you help me burn it for her?"

Luo Qinghe's mother died that year, due to depression and suicide.

Peng Xian asked, "Is it just a burning shed?"

The girl smiled: "By the way, I burned some unclean things as well." ”

"What do you mean?"

She asked rhetorically, "Is there anything else that is unclean in the Locke family?"

Prophet Peng was silent.

Before leaving, the girl left a sentence: "Come to me when you think about it." ”

Subsequently, Peng Xian also came out of the flower room.

There was no other sound in the back, just the cacophony of tapes.

Zhou Xufang turned off the tape recorder.

Jiang Zhi still held her hand, didn't let go, and played with it in his hand: "Did you expect it?"

She shook her head: "I thought it was Luo Changde." She couldn't figure it out, "Why does she hate me so much?" and even went out of her way to sin.

Jiang Zhi pinched her fingers, leaned over and pecked again, and said, "She has a sick brain." ”

Luo Yinghe also scolded, she was psychopathic.

Zhou Xufang smiled, his frowning brows stretched, and he nodded and said, "I think too." He asked Jiang Ori again, "With this tape, can you convict her?"

Jiang Zhi put away her things, leaned over, and fastened her seat belt: "In her conversation with Prophet Peng, she didn't mention you, this alone is not enough, but if Prophet Peng is willing to identify her, she should be able to convict." ”

Now it's time for Prophet Peng to relent.

"Abetting homicide," said Eori, "will allow her to sit through the prison." ”

There is another thing that is very strange, Zhou Xufang thought about it and didn't understand: "Why did Luo Huaiyu want to grab this tape?" She didn't think that the old man came out to protect his family.

Jiang Zhi plugged in the car keys and hit the steering wheel: "Perhaps, he is also an accomplice." ”

The car turned around and drove towards Cangjiang Road.

It has been rainy in the past few years, and in the evening, the sky has darkened, and the neon lights on the roadside have lit up.

Zhou Xufang looked out the car window: "Aren't you going back to Yuquan Bay?" This is not the direction back to her home.

Jiang Zhi said no reply: "Go to me." He said, "You don't have a kitchen." ”

Zhou Xufang originally lived alone, because Jiang Zhi often passed, and a lot of furniture and ornaments had been added to the house, but there were still no kitchen supplies.

"Do you want to cook?"

Jiang Zhi snorted: "Didn't you say that you are tired of eating takeout?"

She complained casually yesterday, saying that she didn't want to eat, that she was tired of eating, but: "I don't know how to cook." "She'd tried it before, but it was so hard to swallow that she didn't think about cooking again.

Eori said, "I'll do it." ”

"Will you?"

"No, it won't. He turned his head to look at her, then at the road, "You have to learn." ”

He drove with one hand and freed up one hand to hold her hand, but she ruthlessly shook it off: "You have to drive well." After the instructions, let's continue to talk about cooking, "We can eat outside." ”

Jiang Zhi has a good reason for him: "There must be one person in our family, otherwise if you go to Moon Bay in the future, who will cook for you?"

He also reported Moon Bay, for fear of being left behind.

So, the conclusion is: "You have to take me." ”

Our family.

Zhou Xufang liked this word very much, and he was very pleasant to listen to and in a comfortable mood: "What you said makes so much sense." ”

She didn't deny it, Jiang Zhi took her acquiescence, and if she wanted to go to Moon Bay in the future, she would take him with her, and the corners of his mouth ran up: "Of course, Zhou Xufang's boyfriend is the most powerful." ”

Zhou Xufang nodded vigorously and agreed: "Mmmm~"

Her boyfriend is the best in the world!

I went to the supermarket, bought the necessities for cooking, and when I got home, at half past six, I could just start cooking, Jiang Zhi had all the kitchen utensils there, and Xue Baoyi picked them, not necessarily the most suitable, but it must be the most expensive.

Zhou Xufang, the world's most powerful boyfriend, took a handful of sweet potato leaves to her: "You just sit here and peel the skin of the sweet potato vine." ”

He took her by the waist, picked her up, and placed her on a chair at the table.

He wasn't going to let her into the kitchen, her hands were more expensive than his gold.

Zhou Xufang looked at the vegetables in the basket: "Is this just what I do?"

Jiang Zhi leaned over, tapped her forehead with his finger, and smiled, his eyes filled with a soft light: "When the peeling is finished, I will send you a job." ”

Zhou Xufang listened to him, because he was at home, there were walls on all sides, and she took the initiative to kiss Jiang Zhi's lips: "Okay." ”

Then, Eori kissed her before leaving.

Zhou Xufang blushed, feverish, picking vegetables, as sweet as marshmallows in her heart, picking vegetables for a while, she went to take the tape, put it in the tape recorder, and listened carefully again.

Jiang Zhi went to the kitchen, brought the laptop with him, turned on the computer, and sent a video invitation to Ah Wan's mother, Ms. Song.

Ms. Song accepted.

A chicken head popped out of the screen first: "Giggle!"

Eori: "......"

This chicken was so fat and strong that he almost didn't recognize it, wasn't it the one Zhou Xufang gave him - Ms. Song's pet Double Happiness.

Jiang Zhi shouted, "Auntie." ”

Ms. Song agreed with a smile, holding her pet in her hand, and asked, "What about Shuangxi Mother?"

Ms. Song has a girlish heart, took Shuangxi as her granddaughter, knitted a lot of small sweaters and small shoes for it, and at this time Shuangxi was wearing a plaid sweater skirt and a beret.

Jiang Zhi felt a little difficult to look at directly, and tried not to look at the chicken: "She's picking vegetables." ”

Ms. Song asked, "Are you in charge?"

"Hmm. ”

Double Happiness is clucking again.

Ms. Song slapped its chicken buttocks: "Double happiness, don't move, teach your dad to cook." ”

Eori: "......"

He really looks like his son.

Ms. Song asked again, "Have you bought everything?"

"I bought everything on the list. "The list was given to him by Ms. Song last night.

Ms. Song thought it was Shuangxi's mother who wanted to cook, but she didn't expect it to be Shuangxi's father, who had grown up pampered and never touched his fingers.

"Okay, let's do two simple ones today. Ms. Song asked, "Your daughter-in-law likes sweets, doesn't she?" She asked Ah Wan a lot about Shuangxi's mother, and knew that Shuangxi's mother, like Shuangxi's father, likes milk and marshmallows.

Here, Jiang Zhi was pleased by the title of 'daughter-in-law', and the corners of her mouth turned up: "Well, my family likes to eat sweets." ”

Ms. Song said, "Then make sweet and sour pork ribs." ”

Eori: "Yes. ”

He shifted the laptop to another angle.

Ms. Song looked around the kitchen and began to guide remotely: "You blanch the ribs first." ”

Scald?

Eori had a confused expression.

At first glance, it was the first time I entered the kitchen.

The Jiang family is a big family, and Mrs. Jiang is from a scholarly family, and the family still retains the old habits and traditions, and boys are not allowed to enter the kitchen.

Gentleman, heavy internal cultivation, to be noble.

What's more, Jiang Weaving, who has been frail and sick since he was a child, has someone to serve him when he dresses and drinks.

The little boy who was pampered like this, for the sake of his beloved little girl, wants to eat the fireworks of the world.

Ms. Song sighed quite a little, there is a sense of satisfaction in marrying a daughter, do you know that kind of feeling? I am afraid that my daughter will marry out and will not be disliked by her husband's family, and the mother will give her all her money before her daughter gets married. That's what it feels like right now.

With this in mind, Ms. Song began to instruct: "Use the pot on your left hand and boil half a pot of water first. ”

Jiang Zhi took the pot, went to fill the half-disaster water, put it on, and then had a meeting, turned the switch three times, there was no fire, he turned around, looked at the computer: "The fire can't be hit." ”

Ms. Song looked through the screen: "Is the gas on?"

Jiang Zhi's beautiful peach blossom eyes rippled slightly: "Do you want to open?"

Ms. Song: "Of course. ”

Eori: "Where?"

Ms. Song: "......"

She feels that this sweet and sour pork rib will be very difficult to make.

More than twenty minutes later.

Zhou Xufang shouted in the living room: "Jiang Weaving." She held two sweet potato leaves in her hand, shook them, and said, "I'm done." ”

Eori came out of the kitchen, wearing a pink apron with the sleeves of her home clothes rolled up and water on her arms: "Do potatoes plane?"

Zhou Xufang was very energetic: "Yes." ”

Look how clean she peeled the sweet potato vines, there was no skin at all.

Jiang Zhi went to the kitchen and took two potatoes and a paring knife, and gave them to Zhou Xufang: "Be light, don't hurt your hands." "If she doesn't find something to do, she's going to help out in the kitchen.

He didn't want her to go, he just didn't want to, he just wanted to provide for her.

Zhou Xufang: "Hmm. ”

She had just picked up the potatoes when there was a sudden thud!

Eori asked, "What sound?"

Zhou Xufang reacted and pointed to the tape recorder: "Tape." She said, "I forgot to turn it off, it was always there." ”

After Luo Qinghe and Peng Xianshi left the flower room, there was no other sound in the tape, and she thought that there was no content behind.

Eori walked over and turned up her voice to the maximum.

The sound just now was the sound of flower pots hitting the ground, and then there were footsteps, and the sound of hitting the flower stand ping-pong.

"So afraid of me?"

It's a man's voice.

And the rapid gasping sound when he was panicked and scared, it was another person.

"What are you hiding. ”

"You were the one outside the door that day. ”

"Did you see it?

The man's voice fell, and there was a bang, and there was no sound behind him.

After another three or two minutes, the tape goes to the very bottom, and it ends.

Jiang Zhi fell back and listened again: "It's Luo Changde." ”

Zhou Xufang also heard it, there was only Luo Changde's voice in it, and the other one did not speak from beginning to end, she said: "The other person is me." ”

Eori guessed the same as her: "You may see something you shouldn't see." ”

No wonder Luo Changde went to great lengths to get this tape.

Locke's water is so deep.
