Even if she didn't go abroad later, after so much time, Ran Xixi probably won't be able to remember what happened when she was a child.

Ran's original site is located in the city, an office building that looked very grand in the past, but now inevitably looks old. When it was first completed, the surrounding buildings were not as tall as it, with the death of Ran Tianze, with the bankruptcy of the Ran family, this building was also like an old man in the twilight, gradually compared to other taller and more magnificent buildings, drowned in a group of buildings, no longer dazzling.

Looking at the scene outside the window in silence, Ran Xixi maintained a posture of supporting her cheeks, resting her elbows against the car window, and the whole person was silent.

Zhan Xingchuan glanced at her a few times, wanting to change the topic, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say anything.

Although his childhood was not a happy one, after all, he now holds all the power of the Zhan clan, which has somewhat made up for the lack of the past. Moreover, Zhan Liyang and Ran Tianze are not the same kind of people, although Ran Tianze is also in love with Qiujing, he maintains the bottom line of being affectionate and polite, and he also loves his daughter very much, and rarely goes out to socialize. If it weren't for this, Ran Xixi wouldn't have missed him so much after learning that he was not his biological father, and even wanted to find out the true cause of his death.

After a while, Ran Xixi let out a sigh of relief, barely squeezed out a smile, and said suspiciously: "Rong Qian's brother-in-law is actually only three years older than him, doesn't that mean that Rong Qian's mother is almost twenty years older than this little brother?"

Seeing that she was willing to speak, Zhan Xingchuan hurriedly replied: "Yes, his mother's surname is Duan, she is the eldest lady of the Duan family, and she was also a famous beauty when she was young." After marrying into the Rong family, she washed her hands and made soup, and did not ask about the business of her mother's family and her husband's family. The Duan family saw that this aunt and grandmother might not be able to count on it, so everyone persuaded her parents to work hard to have another one, which was Duan Xianchen. More than two years later, Rong Qian was born, so he was only three years younger than his brother-in-law, and the two of them grew up wearing a pair of pants. ”

Duan Xianchen is an unplanned product, his parents were close to fifty years old when they gave birth to him, and they were considered old children, so they naturally cherished it to the point of horror. In addition, as soon as he was born, he was born with the important mission of inheriting the family business in the future, so it can be said that Duan Xianchen said goodbye to the carefree teenager prematurely since he was a teenager and lived a very hard life.

The happiest thing for him is that every time he goes to his sister's house to play with his little nephew Rong Qian, and only at that time can Duan Xianchen play football, play games, and chat about the girls he likes like a normal teenager.

"No wonder, if you say that, Rong Qian's brother-in-law must have a very good relationship with him. It's just that I didn't expect that Rong Qian's mother was actually the eldest lady of the Duan family, and it seemed that it was also a strong marriage at the beginning. ”

The Duan family is similar to the Zhan family, but it is relatively more low-key, and the people of the Duan family seem to have a kind of "dedication" gene in their bodies, up to the elders who are 180 years old, and down to the younger generations who are 27 or 8 years old, basically I have never heard of anyone who has divorced, cheated, or Bao Xiaosan, and after everyone gets married, they live honestly, run the company, and work hard to make money.

Therefore, Zhan Xingchuan has always been very envious of Duan Xianchen, the two elders of the Duan family are almost eighty years old, they are not deaf or blind, their health is very good, and the old couple often ride bicycles to play around.

"By the way, when you get there in a while, when there are outsiders, you try not to talk about your relationship with the Ran family, I'm afraid"

Speaking of this, Zhan Xingchuan reminded him with a little seriousness.

Ran Xixi nodded: "I know, I don't want to cause trouble either, what's more, this time I still rely on your and Rong Qian's face, I won't talk nonsense, don't worry." ”

Although she is sometimes impulsive, she still understands the sophistication of the world, no matter what, Zhan Xingchuan helped her with this, and she will not make him unable to get off the stage in front of his friends in public.

Finally found a parking space in the public parking lot, Zhan Xingchuan parked the car, and then got out of the car with Ran Xixi.

Rong Qian gave him a person's number, and asked him to contact this person directly after he arrived here.

Because the building has been empty, there is no company or staff in the building, and only a group of staff on duty are arranged.

"Hello, I am"

Zhan Xingchuan reported to his home, saying that he had arrived. The man immediately told him that he could go downstairs, that he was already waiting at the door, and that he would take them in himself.

He glanced at Ran Xixi, walked side by side with her, and sure enough, he saw a young man about thirty years old, wearing a well-dressed suit.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Duan's assistant, and my name is Owen. He asked me to come and receive the two of you, and said that you can go around as you please, and if you need anything, just tell me. ”

The three of them greeted each other, shook hands, and briefly greeted each other. Then, Owen took Zhan Xingchuan and Ran Xixi into the building behind him, and after swiping the card, they walked into the elevator.

"Mr. Ran's office was on the top floor, and I heard that no one has used it since. ”

Owen took the initiative.

Zhan Xingchuan nodded, and said helplessly: "Yes, I also know that this place has been empty for several years. It's just that I really didn't expect that it was bought by Brother Duan Xianchen. ”

Although Rong Qian has been expressing strong protests for many years, Zhan Xingchuan is only willing to call Duan Xianchen, who is three years older than him, "big brother", and absolutely does not agree to follow his seniority to shout.

Owen smiled, and when the two of them got out of the elevator, he came out, pointed to a certain area outside the window, and said, "Mr. Duan bought both here and the one next to him, he should have his own plan, I don't know the specifics." ”

This kind of thing, even if he knew, he wouldn't say it.

Zhan Xingchuan nodded knowingly.

"This is it, you two take your time, if you need anything, just call me. ”

Owen pushed open the door and stood at the door, motioning for Zhan Xingchuan and Ran Xixi to go in and have a look.

"It's very dusty inside, no one has used it, and the tables, chairs, cabinets and whatevers are still there, so be careful of your step. ”

He glanced inside, reminding.

After Owen left, Ran Xixi slowly walked into Ran Tianze's former office, and after entering the door, she saw that although the room was not a mess, it was not clean and tidy, there was ash everywhere, and there were cobwebs on the corners. I don't know if there is a problem with the waterproof layer on the top floor, there are already many slight cracks on the wall, water stains can be seen everywhere, and the floor is also a piece of gray-white wall skin.

"Sure enough, no one has really renovated this place. ”

Zhan Xingchuan said as he kept an eye on his feet, so as not to step on those wall skins, and if he stepped on them, he would get them everywhere.

The vast majority of people still pay more attention to feng shui and fortune, Ran Tianze's company went bankrupt, and he himself committed suicide here, for many people who do business, the "luck" here has been dispersed, not only no good luck, but even bad luck.

So, after the accident, the office was sealed and opened twice except when the police came to investigate the cause of death, and no one came after that.

"People who do business don't continue to think of this as their office, it's just waiting to sell the land, and no company will come to work here. ”

Ran Xixi looked around and said softly.

Finally, she walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window.

The whole window is fixed and cannot be opened casually, and there is a separate movable window next to it, which is not too large, but when it is fully opened, it is enough to pass an adult of normal size.

As soon as she walked to the window, Zhan Xingchuan rushed over quickly, grabbed Ran Xixi's hand, and asked nervously, "What are you doing?"

After being stunned, she realized that he should have thought he was going to do something stupid.

Ran Xixi withdrew his hand and replied calmly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just going over to take a look." ”

Only then did he show an embarrassed expression, feeling a little ashamed of his little fuss, but Zhan Xingchuan still reminded: "Don't get too close, after all, this place has been empty for a few years, in case the metal next to the window is corroded, it will fall off if you touch it." ”

She nodded, kept her distance from the window, and looked down for a moment.

"You say, if a person is really going to jump off a building, why doesn't he go to the corridor, as you just saw, the window in the corridor is different from here, it can be fully opened. Only one of the windows here can be pushed open, and it's a bit narrow. ”

After a while, Ran Xixi turned around and walked over and asked Zhan Xingchuan.

He also pondered her question, and frowned: "Maybe, he was already difficult to move around at that time, didn't he say that he took poison before jumping off the building, maybe the poison spread quickly, so"

She pointed to the window and retorted, "But, you see, it's not easy to climb up to the height here. In contrast, if it were me, I would rather open the door and walk out. ”

Looking at Ran Xixi's hand, Zhan Xingchuan also admitted that her words were more reasonable.

"So, what do you think?"

He asked bluntly.

She was also unambiguous, and directly gave her guess: "Perhaps, not suicide." ”

It's not suicide, it's homicide. If he had killed him, it might have been manslaughter, or more likely, murder. And according to the scene, the latter is much more likely than the former.

"If it weren't for suicide, wouldn't the police have told the family of the deceased, I think, they have been to the scene, it should be impossible not to see the strange, they will not be stupider than you and me,"

Zhan Xingchuan spread his hands, he didn't think that he and Ran Xixi were smarter than those policemen combined.

She lowered her eyes, although everything was just her guess, but all the doubts in front of her pointed the finger at Ran Tianze's second wife, Ruan Fan.
