Even if there was a trade-off in her heart, Ling Li was still a little breathless, especially in the face of Li Zejun's calm but inevitably resentful expression, the guilt slowly took root.

Zhu Jinchuan seemed to know that she was about to get into the tip of the horns, so he turned his head and instructed her: "You go out and make a phone call and ask about the materials of the corn seed case, when will they be sent over there." ”

This was obviously an excuse for her casually, so that Ling Li could go out and breathe, so that she would not have to suffer from the sense of justice that wanted to find out the truth of the case and the guilt of disturbing other people's lives.

However, as soon as he came out of the study, Ling Li saw a figure wandering two or three meters away.

Huang Zhicong's face was gloomy, standing in the middle of the corridor in front of the door of the study, wanting to get closer but hesitating, anxiety and unwillingness were intertwined in his eyes, so obvious.

She didn't seem to expect Ling Li to come out, she looked at Ling Li from a distance of a few meters, and the next second she panicked, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Ling Li felt a little pity for the woman in front of her.

Life seems glamorous, but the husband no longer loves himself, and the husband and wife respect each other like guests, but they are as plain as water.

And the female students she worked so hard to cultivate also had something to do with Li Zejun, and the lovers who loved each other and the students who cultivated them wholeheartedly were gradually drifting away from her.

Whether her marriage is dull or a failure has long been out of her hands.

Even if the case is discovered, the matter is exposed, and the lawyer comes to the house, she is still excluded from the study, and can only passively be the character who is kept in the dark.

Ling Li couldn't stand her crampedness, so she took the initiative to walk up and ask her, "Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" ”

With Ling Li taking the initiative to hand over the steps, Huang Zhicong's expression was much more natural.

She forced the corners of her mouth and pointed in the direction of the garden outside the house: "It's over there, I'll take you there." ”

Coming out of the bathroom, Ling Li saw Huang Zhicong standing on the side of the corridor waiting for her, and then took Ling Li through the long corridor and returned to the living room.

Only then did Ling Li notice that the two sides of the corridor were decorated with hundreds of photos of the two boys.

The wall is clearly carefully designed, with photographs of children lined up in a staggered manner, from two chubby babies, to a boy in roller skates and a helmet, to two sunny young men who are exactly the same height.

Walking through the corridor is like walking through a corridor of time printed with their growth footprints.

Ling Li looked down all the way, undisguised envy: "These are your two sons?" It's so meaningful to have such a photo saved! ”

Xu is Ling Li's true feelings moved Huang Zhicong, and there was really a smile in her eyes at this time, looking at the photos in the corridor, she said with relief: "Yes, in a blink of an eye, he is a young man, much taller than me and their father." ”

Ling Li nodded and said no more.

Huang Zhicong was like opening the conversation: "Next year, the college entrance examination, the results are average, I don't know what school I can be admitted to, I can't go to a good local high school, I said before that I was sent to Yacheng No. 1 Middle School, but the child was too naughty to be controlled, and then I simply sent it to a high school with full military management, outside the Third Ring Road, more than ten kilometers away from home." I was able to go home once a month and visit once a Wednesday, and it was really hard to run for the past two years. ”

Ling Li heard the word Yacheng from her mouth, and her heart moved.

She was about to ask a few words, but Huang Zhicong spoke to himself and did not allow her to interrupt, and finally extended the topic to Tang Aoxue's case.

Her eyes were a little gloomy: "I hope this matter can be resolved before the start of the summer vacation, otherwise the police and the procuratorate will come to the house frequently, and I don't know how the children will be affected." They are going to take the college entrance examination next year, so don't do anything to Zejun. ”

After that, she wiped a little sparkle from the corner of her eyes and said, "I believe in Zejun, he told me in person that he hasn't, and I don't think he's that stupid." Even if he really thinks anything about Aoxue, he won't be sorry for our mother and son. ”

Ling Li was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Really?" Do you believe in Him? ”

Huang Zhicong nodded, with a determined look in his eyes: "I'm sure, Lawyer Ling, you are still young, and when you are married for more than ten years, you will understand my feelings." Love is already secondary, and they have long become family members who support each other, maintain this family together, and will not easily betray each other. I'm sure he thinks so too. ”

Hearing the word "common", Ling Li somehow remembered that in the car before, Zhu Jinchuan and her speculated that maybe Zheng Qijie had an accomplice.

It seems that just now, there was a person who was unlucky because Tang Aoxue was unlucky and also held a grudge against Li Zejun.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Professor Huang, do you know that three years ago, there was a person who was discovered by President Li for falsely reporting travel expenses and was expelled?" ”

Huang Zhicong stood in place, pondered for a long time, and shook his head apologetically: "I really can't remember." I'm a bit stupid, I can only do what I care about, and I don't pay attention to other miscellaneous things. ”

Speaking of this, she smiled a little surprised: "Probably because I don't use it, so our family Zejun is outside the master and inside the master, and he won't tell me anything difficult." Just like that year, the child had an accident while camping and disappeared for two days. Zejun was obviously anxious, but he rushed to Yacheng to deal with it alone without me, and he told me only after the child returned safely. When I think about it now, I can't help but be afraid. ”

It's Yacheng again!

Ling Li's eyebrows jumped, and she subconsciously asked, "What?" What year? ”

Huang Zhicong thought for a moment and replied: "It should be, almost three years ago, right?" ”

Ling Li continued to ask: "What about the specific time?" Do you remember? ”

This time, Huang Zhicong replied quickly: "Before the National Day, after their outstanding military training was completed, the camping organized by the school was in Bifeng Gorge for two days and two nights, but several children disappeared not long after entering the canyon. After finding it, he said that he encountered a ghost hitting the wall and couldn't get out, and that time, it was scared to death. ”

Speaking of this, she clutched her chest with palpitations: "I also realized it later, and I was so scared that I resolutely refused to let their two brothers study in high school in other places, no matter how good their grades were, this is too far away from home, I am never at ease." ”

Coming out of Li's house, Zhu Jinchuan talked about the harvest of this trip: "It is basically certain that Li Zejun really has no tryst place, otherwise I am afraid that Tang Aoxue would have been found a long time ago." Zheng Qijie made it up blindly, and if he said it in court like that, he was not afraid at all, but he was afraid that there would be an attempt to disgust Li Zejun. ”

Ling Li had already woken up.

Li Zejun has been sparing no effort to find Tang Aoxue all these years, with his ability and intelligence, if he really has any secret tryst with Tang Aoxue, I am afraid that he would have induced the police to look in that direction, if it was really the scene of the crime, he would have been able to find any traces of blood, hair and other clues, how could he not find a trace until now?

As for the so-called place of the sunken corpses, most of them are also fiction.

Zheng Qijie has been thinking about it for so many years, how can he provide clues to the police to investigate? If the body was found according to his account, would it be self-incrimination? Such a difficult problem in criminal practice is bound to give rise to a large-scale discussion.

Zheng Qijie will not leave his fate to a discussion with unknown results to decide, he wants to live to see Li Zejun tortured, so naturally he will not dig his own grave.

Fortunately, this time there was an obvious flaw, and they discovered it, and they did not put all their energy into exploring a few inconspicuous cement piers on the riverbed during the wet season.

Ling Li didn't want to listen to Zhu Jinchuan's analysis of Zheng Qijie's intentions, and told Zhu Jinchuan some of the information she got from Huang Zhicong in a few words.

That is, the twin sons of Huang and Li, who participated in military training in Yacheng, disappeared for a day and a night and were found in the canyon.

Zhu Jinchuan was not surprised at all, as if he had known about this time.

He patiently listened to Ling Li's narration and asked, "Do you suspect that the disappearance of the child that year was related to Zheng Qijie?" ”

Ling Li nodded firmly: "Yes, how can there be such a coincidence." That's why Zheng Qijie went to Yacheng first, and Li Zejun followed. How else to explain that they appear in the same place one after the other? ”

"What about your inferences?" Zhu Jinchuan drove while motioning for Ling Li to continue.

"I speculate that he originally wanted to attack Li Zejun's two children, so he directed the scene of the disappearance of the children. However, I don't know why it failed. It is possible that it is two and a half years old, and it is difficult for him to cope with it alone, or there are too many people who come to look for the child, and it is difficult to start, so he gives up. ”

Zhu Jinchuan was noncommittal: "Actually, maybe it can be found that he can't achieve a special way of killing people in that environment." ”

Ling Li clenched her fists excitedly as if she had been empowered: "That's right! Since Tang Aoxue will be nowhere to be found, leaving only two stump arms, if he originally targeted the two children, he probably also designed a special way of death, which may be similar to Tang Aoxue's! ”

Zheng Qijie is a stubborn and proud person, who disdains simple and crude revenge, otherwise, he would just go straight to Li Zejun and work hard, why bother to work hard for so many years?

He didn't want physical pain, he valued mental torture more.

At present, it seems that his revenge is effective, Tang Aoxue's disappearance and the sudden appearance of the two amputated arms in the world first made Li Zejun tortured and described as withered, and then the case was opened, Li Zejun's disgrace was exposed in front of the world, his face was disgraced, and his future was hindered - although it was Ling Li who broke out and not Zheng Qijie himself, but the effect was the same.

As for Huang Zhicong, she has been ignorant for so many years, but her instinct as a mother has protected her son from poison.

Because of Zheng Qijie's action, she didn't dare to let her son go too far, and after transferring back to the capital, she sent her son to a school under full military management.

The school is full of surveillance, and it is difficult for ordinary people to blend in without saying. Even if Zheng Qijie succeeded in deceiving the child to come out, with the level of law and order in the capital, the disappearance of the two students is afraid that it will spread throughout the city in less than half an hour.

After talking about the two children, Ling Li remembered another clue.

"Master, you said before that Zheng Qijie might have an accomplice, and what Li Zejun said about the past today, it seems that there is a person who covets Tang Aoxue and has a grudge against Li Zejun. You say, will it ......?"

She wanted to speak again and again, but Zhu Jinchuan quickly replied: "No, do you think Li Zejun is stupid?" He had already looked into it. I know you suspect that the teacher who tried to rape Tang Aoxue back then, but after he was dismissed, he has gone to other provinces and has no trace of returning. ”

"Oh." Ling Li responded in a low voice, and her mood was a little low: "It's really unlucky." ”

Zhu Jinchuan glanced at her distractedly and raised his eyebrows: "What?" It's not like you. ”

Ling Li tugged at the corners of her mouth: "I just sigh that Tang Aoxue's luck is really bad, she was not the first target, and she had nothing to do with her, but she had a scene with Li Zejun and got into trouble." ”

Zhu Jinchuan was a little funny: "Then do you think it's better to be a victim, or two minors to be victimized?" How can this be compared? ”

Ling Li thought about it for a while, and realized that this was completely a moral trap, so she hurriedly raised her hands and surrendered: "Okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't dwell on this matter." ”
