Chapter 34: One Step Away
It was already late when she got home, and when she took out her mobile phone, she found that there were a few missed calls, and Jia Rui's name had already been deleted by her, but this string of familiar numbers came into view, but it couldn't be regarded as if she hadn't seen it anyway, and after hesitating for a moment, Lingche still dialed it.
"After making so many calls, what's the matter?" Lingche said.
"That case, I have made a new discovery, I want to talk to you, are you free?" Jia Rui said hurriedly.
"It's so late." Lingche hesitated for a moment: "Tomorrow, right?" ”
"I'm going on a long trip tomorrow, I'm afraid it's too late, if you have time, come out, I'll be downstairs at your house." Jia Rui insisted.
Lingche sat up and opened the curtains, Jia Rui got out of the car and beckoned gently in her direction: "I've been worried about whether you won't come back tonight, I'm very happy that you're back, but it's still very sad to see the scene just now." ”
That scene just now? remembered the hot kiss when he was separated from Xiang Ke just now, and he was secretly looked at by Jia Rui, and he couldn't help but have a fever at the root of his ears.
"For the sake of me staying all night, come down, it's really a very important clue." Garry pleaded.
Lingche nodded, hung up the phone, tiptoed open the door, and sneaked out. Mother is really too dissatisfied with Jia Rui, so it is better not to alarm her old man when she meets him secretly. Thinking so in his heart, Lingche had already trotted all the way downstairs.
"What clues?" Ling Che asked.
"I've been waiting for you for so long, so I want some consolation prizes." Jia Rui smiled bitterly.
"You're so unserious, I'm going up." Lingche turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Jia Rui and begged, "I was wrong, no kidding, okay?" ”
Lingche turned his head hesitantly: "What did you find?" ”
"An old case more than ten years ago, I don't know if you have heard of a woman named Xiang Yun?"
Ling Che turned his head abruptly and stared at Jia Rui tightly: "What do you mean?" ”
"When she drowned, there was an eyewitness who salvaged her out of the water, and this person was Wang Lung." Jia Rui said slowly: "Then after this incident, Wang Lung seemed to have suddenly made a windfall, and built a new house in the village, and he who had always been stingy suddenly became generous. "What's so strange about that?" Ling Che chuckled, "Maybe Xiang Yun's family deliberately gave him a sum of money to thank him." "Xiang Yun even has very little money left to his own son, how can he have a large amount of money given to Wang Lung?" Jia Rui smiled: "And I also learned that at that time, she was fighting a lawsuit to snatch the child. It is said that for this lawsuit, she secretly found a lot of private detectives and found a lot of information. ”
Ling Che's heart shook slightly, and his face became extremely ugly: "Do you have evidence?" ”
Jia Rui stepped forward and gently touched Lingche's forehead: "Lingling, what's wrong with you today?" I'm saying this so clearly, do you still need evidence? These two incidents were very big back then, and there were cases to be investigated. As for what Xiang Yun found, I definitely can't know, otherwise I probably wouldn't be standing here and talking to you so much. But whether these things are related or not, you should know it in your heart after checking it for so long. ”
Ling Che subconsciously took two steps back: "If there is no evidence, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Something without proof?" Jia Rui sneered: "Isn't it just for revenge that Lawyer Xiang himself went back?" ”
"You are talking nonsense, ...... to Ke Ta" Ling Che only felt that he couldn't breathe in his chest, and shook his head: "Let's find evidence first." With that, he staggered backwards, nearly tripping over a brick, but fortunately Garry was quick to pick her up.
"Lingling, are you alright?" Jia Rui worried: "This case is so complicated, you better not investigate it again." ”
"You've told me so much today, is that just to say this?" Lingche said.
"Or what do you think?" Jia Rui smiled bitterly: "In this competition, I have already lost to the ground. But there's no need for you to sink into the mud anymore. Otherwise, whatever you find may affect the rest of your life. ”
"Thank you." Ling Che smiled bitterly: "It is precisely because I have found so much that it is impossible for me to let go halfway, I am fine, you can go back." ”
Lingche trembled and climbed upstairs, twisted it a few times before opening the door, and her mother was sitting on the sofa with a serious face, her face full of reproach, needless to say, she must have seen the scene downstairs just now.
Before she could speak, she saw her daughter's pale face, and Su's mother's heart suddenly softened again, and she asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Ling Che shook his head and said softly, "I'm a little tired today, so you should rest early." With that, he closed the door casually.
Lying on the bed, my heart was overturned, and I couldn't sleep peacefully for a long time.
She took out the jade pendant that Shen Shenghua handed her during the dinner party from her bag, looked at it carefully, and recalled the details of chatting with her, she could feel the kind of grandfather's love for his grandson and future granddaughter-in-law, such a kind old man, would he kill his own grandson's mother? Ling Che didn't dare to think about it and didn't want to think about what a heavy blow this would be to Xiang Ke, who had just rebuilt the old relationship with his grandfather! Has he already endured too much pain from the loss of his loved ones, and will he still suffer from being betrayed by his loved ones? The case has been opened, and it is impossible to stop, it seems to be only one step away from the truth, but from this step, Ling Che has felt a painful chill, does he really want to uncover it?
Just as he was hesitating, the phone emitted a familiar ticking sound, and sent a text message to Ke: "Lingling, have you slept?" I miss you, and I can't sleep well. ”
Ling Che smiled slightly, picked up his phone, and gently typed: "Not yet, so am I." ”
The phone rang, and he pressed the connect button lightly, and Xiang Ke's voice couldn't wait to come in: "I just chatted with grandpa, he has a good impression of you, and I want to ask your family to sit down with you in a few days and settle our affairs, what do you think?" ”
"Oh." Hearing the words grandpa, Lingche's heart trembled subconsciously, no matter what, it was difficult for her to connect this kind old man with this murder and bloody case.
"Lingling, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Ke seemed to hear Lingche's distraction, and said anxiously: "Don't you like it?" If we don't like it, we will decide our own affairs, not through the Shen family. ”
"Nope." Ling Che hurriedly shook his head: "You decide, I have no opinion." "Did something happen?" Xiang Ke asked anxiously, "You are a little absent-minded. "It's nothing, I'm a little tired." Ling Che yawned loudly and said softly, "You should rest early." ”
"I forgot it was late." Xiang Ke chuckled: "Good night." "Good night." Hung up the phone, still tossing and turning, since the truth is destined to be revealed, then Su Lingche will uncover it, at least, you can choose to tell Xiang Ke in the least harmful way. After a night of struggle, Lingche finally made such a decision, thinking of this, she had a little peace of mind, and when the day was about to dawn, she gradually fell asleep.
Woken up by the alarm clock early in the morning, there is no doubt that he had to finish breakfast in a hurry with two big dark circles under his eyes, and Lingche rushed downstairs with his handbag. Under the cherry blossom tree, Xiang Ke's figure is as beautiful as a dream, his fair skin flashes with a faint golden light under the sun, his thick eyebrows are slightly raised, his deep eyes are as bright as stars in the night sky, a breeze blows, the petals fall lightly, and cross his face, he stretched out his slender fingers, gently took a white flower, put it on the wing of his nose and sniffed deeply, and a smile appeared on his face. As if hearing her footsteps, he turned his head suddenly, and collided with his crystal clear eyes, which instantly made people feel thrilled.
Xiang Ke stretched out his hands and gave Lingche a big hug. Lingche quietly buried her head in Xiang Ke's arms, the familiar question was refreshing, her hot lips wrapped around the man's heavy breath lingering on her face like raindrops, and she wanted to be so drunk that she would never wake up again. After a long time, Ling Che said softly: "Why are you here so early?" ”
"I miss you, I want to come to see you, and send you to work by the way." Xiang Ke smiled, gently pulled the car door, and carefully placed the person in his arms on the car seat: "Last night, did you sleep badly?" ”
Hearing this, Ling Che hurriedly subconsciously rubbed his eyes and muttered, "It's okay." ”
The corners of Xiang Ke's mouth went up slightly, and said, "Did my phone call scare you?" ”
"Nope." Ling Che hurriedly shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with you." ”
"Oh, that's right, your insomnia all night has nothing to do with me." Xiang Ke said: "As your man, I am a little lost. ”
"Where did you think of it, it's not like that!" Lingche hurriedly denied it.
"Are you really having insomnia?" Xiang Ke turned his head and said, "It has nothing to do with my phone call, is it because of something else?" Wasn't it okay when I sent you home yesterday? ”
"I ......" Lingche hesitated: "It's nothing, it's a matter of work, I've figured it out!" ”
"I guess I understand." Xiang Ke whispered, "It's related to that case, right?" ”
Ling Che was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Don't worry about me, if you feel tired, you can give it to someone else." Xiang Ke said sincerely: "If you need any clues related to Shengshi, I can help you." ”
Ling Che shook his head, and after a long time, he nodded lightly, it turned out that everything he was doing, he was silently paying attention, he was afraid of the pressure he was facing, he was also worried about himself, such a heart-to-heart, how not to move her!
But when it comes to Shengshi, the atmosphere in the car is still a little embarrassing, the more the two of them have to be honest with each other, but the more it seems that this matter is not so easy to look at on the bright side, Xiang Ke smiled and watched Ling Che leave, confirming the worry in his heart, and a faint sadness appeared on his face. The person who doesn't want to be implicated the most is still involved after all, since he can't escape, then get closer to the truth than her, how can he let a woman bear it in front of him!
