Chapter XVI Planning
The next day, the friends had breakfast at Lancais's house, and then gathered in the guest lounge of Lancais's house.
Plan your next steps:
First, the fraternity held a small dinner party to which Miranda and Harumi Toyama were invited, with the aim of mourning the members killed in the abduction.
During the dinner, Master Lankes went out to contact Miranda to confirm whether she was involved in the kidnapping case.
Second, ask Lan Caisi to talk to the members of the Brotherhood to see if it is possible that Ryuta Kizawa is in collusion with the kidnappers.
Third, Master Lan Kaisi must pay attention to the progress of the police investigation.
Lan Kaisi felt that it was the friends who wanted to investigate the case, but it seemed that he was the only one who needed to contribute, so he decided that it would be better to pull all the friends into the water than to toss alone.
The tone of the eldest young master Lan Kaisi was still lazy, but he said shrewdly: "The dinner party is prepared by Ouyang Le, the brotherhood, in this kidnapping case, five members of the brotherhood died, and the four of you will be on top, I am usually not enthusiastic with everyone, and it will be strange to suddenly inquire about Jing Ze Longtai, if it is you newcomers who ask questions, it is not easy to arouse suspicion." ”
Jiang Jingtong pushed his glasses, feeling that what Lan Kaisi said was logical and feasible, and Lang Fei and Ouyang Le, who were eager to intervene in the investigation, naturally would not object, and Ren was as good as a stream.
So the driver of the Lan Keith family drove the Aston Martin DB7 of Lan Caiss and the Porsche 911 driven by Rennes back to school with the Chinese Three Musketeers.
When I went back, Jiang Jingtong and Lan Kaisi sat in Ren's car, and Ouyang Le and Lang Fei sat in Lan Kaisi's car driven by the driver of Lan Kaisi - this is a very wonderful permutation.
Aston Martinley is the end of the world who has also lost his girlfriend, and Porsche is a trio with an eerie atmosphere.
Jiang Jingtong felt that the atmosphere was too dull, took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "Lan Caisi, should you tell us about your brotherhood?"
Lan Caith leaned back in the leather chair and said slowly: "Actually, I don't care much about the affairs of the fraternity, I am the president because of my background, and most of the members like to get together to drink, go crazy, and have fun, but those are not my hobbies. ”
Rennes commented pertinently: "Alcohol culture is a cultural phenomenon in country Y, and in country Y, drinking is a national phenomenon like a love for football. In a social environment where everyone thinks 'a little drink' is a good time, it's hard to ban hormonally active teenagers from following suit. ”
Chiang agreed: "According to the Ministry of the Interior, 40 percent of violent cases, 78 percent of assault cases, and 88 percent of allegorical crimes in the country are crimes committed under the influence of alcohol. ”
Lan Keith looked at the two: "Why do you know so clearly?"
Wren: "I've done a thesis on British alcohol culture before. ”
Chiang Ching-tung: "There was a debate in the debate club about whether to ban teenagers from drinking. The main topic of the debate was to prevent juvenile delinquency, and the ruling party was said to have tried to introduce a series of measures: a curfew for minors under the age of 16 or a cash fine for underage drinkers to go immediately to the nearest ATM. However, these measures were rejected before they could be introduced, including for reasons such as undermining the human rights of those who did not commit crimes. We have debated this. ”
Lan Keith was interested, but the state of this person's interest was also a little lazy, about the only time they were not lazy was when they ran for their lives in the activity center, Lan Keith asked, "Who did you support at that time?"
Chiang Ching-tung: "Support the ban on teenage drinking. Asian countries generally prohibit the consumption of alcohol by minors and do not allow the sale of alcohol and tobacco to minors, but the UK has a strong alcohol culture that exposes young people to drinking alcohol too early. During the debate, I collected data that there were about 80,000 pubs of all shapes and sizes in the UK. Among young people over the age of 18, there is a bad cultural atmosphere of binge drinking, excessive drinking, and drunkenness, and many young people are often forced to drink together due to peer pressure. The increase in violence and vulgarity, pornography, and bullying in popular culture has led to an increase in juvenile delinquency, in large part because of excessive alcohol consumption among young people. ”
Wren smiled slightly.
Lan Keith saw Wren's smile in the rearview mirror and said deliberately, "Then have you investigated the phenomenon of teenage drinking in the United States?"
Jiang Jingtong nodded: "In the 80s of the 20th century, the proportion of teenagers drinking in the United States was greatly reduced, because when the 50 states of the United States raised the legal age of drinking restrictions to 21 years old in 1988, the proportion of teenagers drinking in the United States was fixed at a fairly high number, and the Associated Press had a survey that 2/3 of Americans, including adults and teenagers, expressed support for the law that the legal age for restricting drinking was 21 years old. However, illegal drinking among teenagers in the United States is still widespread. The survey, conducted by the Pennsylvania media for the Associated Press, shows that even three-quarters of U.S. adults and teens believe that enforcement of drinking age laws should be strengthened. In general, many adolescents support the law that limits the drinking age because it reduces the dangers of alcohol to adolescents themselves. Teens have become aware of the serious effects of alcohol consumption. ”
Wren just asked casually, and he didn't expect Jiang Jingtong to say this big thing at all, so he talked.
Jiang Jingtong asked Lan Caisi: "You need to pay membership fees to join your brotherhood, it is said that the entrance fee of the brotherhood is very high, and those who can join are either rich or expensive." ”
Lan Keith smiled lazily: "I brought you in, you don't need to pay the dues, and besides, the few hundred pounds of dues are nothing to you!"
Jiang Jingtong: "Which eye do you see that a few hundred membership fees are nothing to us?"
Lan Keith squinted at him: "Wren can drive such a car, the economic conditions should be very good!"
Jiang Jingtong: "But our Chinese friends are very simple!"
Lan Caisi had an expression of "your glasses, Zegna brand business plate titanium frames, 300 pounds, the pendant around your neck should be Chinese jade, I have taken a jewelry and antique appraisal class, your Chinese jade pays attention to a piece of material, reflectivity, color, to the material is delicate and transparent, high reflectivity, color green as the value standard, I have seen a piece of jade without your jade material translucent green jade, the price is 70,000 pounds!"
Jiang Jingtong reflexively covered his neck - this can also expose his net worth!
Lan Kaisi continued to smile lazily with an expression that you were late: "Although the clothes on your body are not famous brands, many of them are hand-customized, and the price of hand-customized clothes and accessories in the UK is much higher than that of branded clothing, why does Young Master Jiang still pretend to be simple?"
Jiang Jingtong black line.
Lan Kaisi continued to laugh: "Although I am not familiar with Ouyang Le and Lang Fei's family background, most of the students in the school are using low-end PCs, but they are both using lighter and thinner Macs! The jade bracelet on Ouyang Le's wrist is also very valuable, although they are not high-profile in school, but Ouyang Le and Lang Fei are the vice president of the student union, and the other is the most popular and eye-catching member of the school football team, Lang Fei's pair of sneakers is more than three or five hundred pounds, such economic conditions, you still have to say that you are simple" Poor'?"
Jiang Jingtong was speechless!
Talk and pawn!
Wren looked at Jiang Jingtong with amusement - the value of your Chinese Three Musketeers is unbelievable.
Jiang Jingtong rolled his eyes.
Lan Caiss was moved: "In this kidnapping case, the brotherhood killed five people, all of whom have extraordinary family backgrounds, if the kidnappers do not kill them, but blackmail their families, it will not be a problem for each family to come up with 30 million pounds, but the kidnappers used the stupidest method." ”
"That's why you think the person who colluded with the kidnappers can't be Ryuta Jingzawa?" Jiang Jingtong asked.
Lan Kaisi nodded: "Jing Ze Longtai's own family is very rich, and he is also familiar with the members of the brotherhood, if he colludes with the kidnappers, it will definitely not be only 30 million." ”
Jiang Jingtong pushed his glasses again: "It's a pity that the kidnappers are all dead, and I can't get a confession, and I can't find any clues." ”
Lan Keith smiled sarcastically: "There is no pity, the kidnappers should be glad that they are all dead, otherwise they will kill Jeff and Seres of the Doonica family, Wolf of the Brunel family, Ryuta Kagezawa of the Jingzawa Foundation, and the upstart Kent, if the kidnappers don't die, these families will not let them go." ”
Jiang Jingtong's eyes hidden behind the lenses flashed slightly, and he glanced at Lan Cais--this person had fangs, but he was hidden under the appearance of a noble son with a British style......
Aston Martinley, Ouyang Le touched the glass jade hand in his hand, it was a dragon hook Ruyi, which was handed down from the family, when the Chinese New Year was celebrated, Ouyang Le's grandmother gave it to him, Ouyang Le did not like to wear jewelry, but in a foreign country, he wore the dragon hook on his body as a blessing from his family. This quaint hand is very much Karina's favorite, Ouyang Le asked the family to mail a suitable for women to wear to Karina, that is a finely carved ice lotus hand, quaint and transparent, with a strong Chinese style, Karina likes it very much, and now with Karina's fragrance and jade, the hand is gone.
Ouyang Le looked outside the car, the fog in London in the morning was very heavy.
The United Kingdom has a temperate oceanic climate, controlled by the prevailing westerly winds, the cold and heat of the four seasons do not change much, the whole year is mild and humid, the driest from February to March every year, the wettest from October to January of the following year, and now it has entered October.
Ouyang Le turned his head and asked Lang Fei, "What do you want to do if we catch the murderer who killed Renai?"
Lang Fei twisted his thick black eyebrows and said suspiciously: "What else can I do besides calling the police to arrest him?"
Ouyang Le asked, "Don't you want to avenge Renai?"
Lang Fei replied without hesitation: "Murder is illegal!"
Ouyang Le's eyes didn't seem to believe it: "Won't you beat him out of anger?"
Lang Fei looked at Ouyang Le: "Are you blaming Karina's death on the murderer who killed Renai?"
Ouyang Le was silent for a moment before he said: "You have also read the investigation and analysis of the police, there must be someone in the school who colluded with the kidnappers, if that person is not Ryuta Kizawa, who will it be? And why kill Rena?"
Lang Fei didn't answer, but sighed: "That night, Rena didn't come to the appointment and I was angry with her......"
Ouyang Le also sighed: "When we escaped from the activity center, I didn't know ...... Karina was in the activity center."
Both of them are sad people, looking at each other, and they felt the feeling of looking at each other without words and tears in the UK, and this kind of looking at each other made the two good Chinese men feel excited.
Not long after, when I arrived at the school, the friends parked and got off, and the driver of Aston Martin today was the bodyguard Yar that the friends had seen in the activity center, and when Ouyang Le and Lang Fei got out of the car, Jiang Jingtong, Lan Kaisi and Ren also got out of the car.
It was a sight to see five tall and long-legged creatures standing together, but the bodyguard Yar nodded to Lan Caiss and walked away - five little friends in the exhaust You look at me, I look at you.
Lang Fei couldn't hold his breath and said, "What are you doing now?"
Lan Caith smiled lazily, "Come with me, I'll take you to the Brotherhood." ”
Ouyang Le was puzzled: "Isn't the activity room of the brotherhood in the activity center? Now the activity center is still blocked, and even the student union can only temporarily borrow the classrooms in the teaching building, and your brotherhood has a new activity room?"
Lan Keith smiled smugly: "Didn't you say that the Brotherhood is the 'Evil Young Gang'? Since it is an evil young man, can there be no activity room of the Brotherhood in C University?"
Ouyang Le: ......
The four friends followed Lan Keith to the No. 3 school building on the south side of the school.
Walking with his friends, Lan Keith chatted a little curiously: "Why haven't you applied to join the fraternity again?"
Lang Fei: "There's no need. ”
Ouyang Le: "The power of the student union is greater, and it can train people. ”
Jiang Jingtong: "I don't like to drink. ”
Wren: "Not interested!"
Lanketh listened to his friends' answers, and although the answers were different, they were clearly unimpressed with the Brotherhood - Lankees felt that he needed to correct the name of the Brotherhood.
Lan Caiss: "The fraternity is not just messing around, membership is voluntary, of course, the threshold for membership is to pay membership dues, the early days of the establishment of the C big brothers, it was just a secret small assembly used by students to privately praise and disparage their teachers, and it was also used to discuss academics as the theme, and now it has evolved into a place to expand contacts, and many universities have fraternities." ”
Jiang Jingtong: "But there are not many public relations places that have evolved into debauchery for men and women!"
Lan Keith was rarely less lazy: "As the president of the fraternity, it is necessary for me to state that we are a very serious student organization. ”
Jiang Jingtong: "Serious enough to flirt with female classmates?"
Lancaith: "The actions of individual members do not represent the essence of the Brotherhood!"
Jiang Jingtong: "The essence is to rely on a good family background, a lot of wealth, and a wide network of people to run rampant on campus, and be called 'evil less' by everyone?"
Lancaith: ......
Lan Keyes found it silly to debate with Chiang Ching-tung - if I remember correctly, Chiang Ching-tung should have been from the debate club - so sharp-toothed.
Ouyang Le pulled Jiang Jingtong and said in Chinese: "We need Lan Kaisi to help us investigate the case, isn't it okay for you to scare him like this now?"
Jiang Jingtong replied in Chinese: "People like Lan Kesi are used to flattering him, the more you accommodate him, the more he looks down on you, if you are tough and have personality, he thinks you have backbone!"
Lang Fei: "What's wrong with this? I can't do it, I have to choke?"
Jiang Jingtong: "Find fault with abuse!"
Wren saw the Chinese Three Musketeers talking in Chinese, and he had a feeling of being excluded: "I remind you that it is rude to communicate in front of others in a language they don't understand!"
Lan Keith: "I'm for it!"
The black line of the Chinese Three Musketeers.
Wren: "In the future, it is forbidden to speak Chinese in front of us." ”
Lancaith: "I agree. ”
The Chinese Three Musketeers continue the black line.
Wren: "If you teach us what to say, you can." ”
Lancaith: "This ......"
Wren looked at Lan Keyes: "The cleverness of Chinese is called 'what are you doing' (you are so stupid)!" (Wren still remembers that Ouyang Le said the words that praised people for their cleverness, in fact, it meant that you are so stupid, poor Wren, and for many years afterwards, I couldn't forget that the first Chinese word I could say was "You are so stupid!")
