The waiter at the coffee shop poured a glass of lemonade for the two, Su Xiaoqiao took a sip of water and moistened her throat, it was obvious that she didn't only know a little about Chu Tianjiao as she said before, it was obvious that she had done her homework completely before she came, it was like she was preparing for the thesis defense, and she was ready to answer Lin Nian's questions endlessly.

In his seat, Lin Nian flipped through the information in the folder to the last few sheets, which were also the last footprints left by Chu Tianjiao in this city and even in this world.

"After driving with the Commissioner of Inland Revenue, he has been working as a private driver." Lin Nian said.

"The director of the tax bureau collapsed a few years ago, and he should have considered looking for other jobs, but the relationship between the Black Prince Group and the tax bureau has always been good, and the boss of the group also knew that he was a person, so he poached him and became a driver again, and that period of time was also a period of problems in his marriage." Su Xiaoqiao watched Lin Nian draw out a copy of the divorce certificate from the document, the style was very new, it was obviously transferred from the Civil Affairs Bureau and just printed, it was enough to see how hard the relationship between Xiaotiannu's family is, if you want to check a person, from marriage to divorce, you can put the rest of a person's life on the table in every detail within half a day.

"In March 1996, Su Xiaoyan and Chu Tianjiao divorced." Su Xiaoqiao whispered, "In July of the same year, Su Xiaoyan remarried, and her husband's name was... Lu Tianming. ”

It seems that even Su Xiaoqiao is a little unbelievable, why this woman actually entered the palace of marriage again in less than half a year, compared with Chu Tianjiao's various experiences in the 90s, she couldn't help but be a little angry, and her face was not very good-looking.

"Chu Zihang told me that his mother has always been so heartless... That's why they met so dramatically. Lin Nian looked at the document and said lightly.

After the end of "Silk Road Flower Rain" starring a dance troupe, someone plotted against a few girls from the dance troupe to go to the bar to drink, it was a bright and prosperous era, the law and order was very chaotic, and the men were broken by Chu Tianjiao who walked in before they dared to do anything, and then they fought, seven or eight people entered the hospital, and Chu Tianjiao was also taken to the police station for the record, but then somehow released again.

But it was also that time that the two of them were completely bonded... It's too simple for an 'S' class hybrid to chase a heartless girl, and coincidence is just a ripening agent, but it's a pity that when the melon is ripe, the two are separated before they can wait for the beautiful scenery in the shade of the trees afterward.

"Chu Tianjiao left the house after the divorce, the rental house he rented before, and all the household appliances he bought belonged to Su Xiaoyan, and he resigned as a driver in the Black Prince Group and wanted to make a move... But it seems that he found that the car that has been driven for a few years will not do anything other than driving, and he can only find the CEO of the popular Media Asia Group to drive for him. Su Xiaoqiao scratched her eyebrows with her little finger and sighed softly, as if she was unwilling to this man's situation, she thought that a man who worked hard like this should always get his own happiness, but the ending of this world always makes people so... Unexpected.

"On July 3, 2004, the Maybach he was driving crashed into an elevated road, and the car crashed and people died, and the only survivor was his own son Chu Zihang, who was in the same car with him that night." Lin Nian closed the folder.

"In 2004, wasn't it the time when Chu Zihang was still in Shilan?" Su Xiaoqiao whispered.

"The appearance of being around 15 years old, maybe it was because of that incident that Chu Zihang's current personality is so unapproachable, right?" Lin Nian put the folder on the seat next to him, "Anyway, thank you, this information is very useful to me." ”

"Thank you two for what." Su Xiaoqiao smiled, but after a moment, a trace of hesitation still appeared on his face, "But I still don't understand what you are going to do to investigate Chu Zihang's father's past?" ”

"That car accident was not an accident." Lin Nian said, "I can only say so much. ”

"Not an accident?" Su Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment, she had been following her father for a long time, she would always think about everything in a sinister way, but after a while, she imagined a story about someone who wanted to harm the boss of the Media Asia Group and deliberately crashed into the Maybach, and as a result, accidentally killed the driver at the time, Chu Tianjiao... And now Lin Nian is investigating this in order to overturn the case for his good friend's father?

"Don't overthink it." Lin Nian glanced at Su Xiaoqiao and said, "Things are often complicated... It's a lot more complicated than you think. ”

"What are you going to do next? Is there anything else I need help with? Su Xiaoqiao asked.

"I remember that Media Asia Group went out of business a few years ago." Lin Nian looked at the high-rise buildings outside the small garden outside the window, "In the past, Huanya was something that could be compared to the Black Prince. ”

"It went out of business ten years ago, and it was originally expanded in the name of building a special metal construction industry, and a large joint venture with the Black Prince Group in Babaoshan attracted a lot of new steel plants, the most famous of which is Rongsheng high-end steel foundry. As a result, it was later discovered that the real intention of the boss of Media Asia was actually to cheat the loan, but when he found out, the other party had already fled with the money. Su Xiaoqiao said.

"Chu Tianjiao's last period of time was spent driving in the Media Asia Group, if your intelligence is not wrong, he has been staying there and living there during that time, no matter how late he drives, he will hardly go anywhere else, but go directly back to the factory." Lin Nian said, "He has his own 'safe house' there. ”

"Safe house?" Su Xiaoqiao didn't quite understand why Lin Nian used this word, but she still nodded, "I haven't found his housing information, which means that he has lived in this city for decades without a property of his own... He has always lived in a rented house. ”

"I remember the address of the rented house at the site of the original Media Asia Group, that is..."

"Babao Mountain." Lin Nian said, "I have been there, and it is indeed an abandoned factory, which used to belong to the Media Asia Group? ”

"Now there's no one there, just the bankruptcy liquidation team there to deal with this old mess." Su Xiaoqiao frowned slightly, "And I heard that there have been illegal assemblies over there, which is very dangerous, if you want to go, I can find someone to take you there." ”

"There will be no illegal gatherings there in the near future, the police have already eliminated the lawbreakers there, and you can pay attention to it when it is on the news recently, and it is very safe over there now." Lin Nian said.

"Are you really going there?" Su Xiaoqiao still looked a little uneasy.

"I'll be fine, you should know that." Lin Nian said.

Of course, Su Xiaoqiao knew that Lin Nian was very capable of fighting... It's not an ordinary fight, the opportunity for her to meet Lin Nian was a fight, at that time, there were always hooligans from other schools near Shilan who came to them to molest girls, and this situation was the most serious when school started, and there were always girls who didn't understand the situation and were taken advantage of by those hooligans.

Once Su Xiaoqiao was also tricked, and when the two sides were still pulling and pulling, the inch-headed boy who was pulling Su Xiaoqiao's wrist didn't react, and was kicked in the chest by Lin Nian, who came over, flew four or five meters away and fell into the flower bed... Three ribs were broken, and behind it was Su Xiaoqiao's family, throwing the medical expenses in his face, and saying that he didn't mind paying tens of thousands more to buy a few more ribs for you and go back to stew soup and feed the dogs... So far, the security on Shilan's side has been much better.

"Be at ease." Lin Nian nodded lightly, "I won't have an accident, so don't let people follow me, I don't like others to stare at you, you know." ”

"Oh." Su Xiaoqiao could only respond simply... She rarely gives up on obsessive things, unless it is Lin Nian who sits opposite her.

After chatting about the matter, the lemonade was almost drunk, Lin Nian glanced at the time of the wall clock in the store and found that the time was about the same, but Su Xiaoqiao, who was sitting opposite, looked at him with some twist and expectation. After noticing her expression, Lin Nian couldn't help but chuckle and shook his head and said, "I haven't forgotten." ”

Su Xiaoqiao raised his head and sat up straight, staring at Lin Nian seriously, only to see that the other party took out a coin and put it in his right hand, and then put his hands together and stretched out.

Guess the coin every time you meet, it's a game that two people have made an appointment, and this time is certainly no exception.

Su Xiaoqiao raised her hand and hesitated for a moment, then grabbed Lin Nian's left wrist, and when she touched the other party, the roots of her ears were still a little red, and she felt that the temperature on her face was much hotter: "I guess this time." ”

Lin Nian didn't speak, just put his right hand on Su Xiaoqiao's head, and then spread out his empty left hand.

Su Xiaoqiao, who knew that he had guessed wrong, raised his hand depressedly and touched it, and sure enough, there was a coin placed on the top of his head: "Although this is the third time I have seen it... But how do you do it? ”

"I cheated." Lin Nian was blunt.

"Can I report you for cheating?" Su Xiaoqiao lay on the table and stared at Lin Nian sideways.

"The final interpretation belongs to me." Lin Nian said.

Looking at Lin Nian's serious appearance, Su Xiaoqiao suddenly became happy, burst out laughing, and buried his head in the crook of his arm to hide the good-looking appearance of the flowers and branches. Lin Nian didn't leave in a hurry, just sat there and watched her smile, and when she had laughed enough, the eyes of the two met again.

"That's... Two guests to interrupt. ”

At this time, the waiter who had served coffee to the two of them came over, holding a Polaroid in his hand, and asked tentatively and politely under the gaze of Su Xiaoqiao and Lin Nian: "Can you take a photo of the two guests?" ”

"Take pictures? What is it used for? "Lin Nian's behavior of leaving photos is particularly sensitive, leaving no traces in the executive department is one of the most important rules, the commissioner should be incognito everywhere he goes, and it is best that no one will remember her after completing the task.

"Do it for publicity... We are committed to leaving the best scenes of our guests in this café as a means of publicity, and in return for this time, we will give free orders for the two guests. The waiter explained, reaching out to the side and motioning them to look at the wall behind the bookshelf, where the mottled and aged red brick walls illuminated by the warm yellow light hung many pictures of young people, all of them lovers, comparing their hearts to the camera, or naughtily comparing each other's heads with ears.

"I'm fine." Su Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment after seeing the wall, and suddenly looked at Lin Nian with a smile.

"I..." Lin Nian wanted to refuse, but after hesitating for a moment, looking at the girl's expectant gaze, he swallowed the words back, not ready to spoil the scenery.

"Can Miss make an intimate gesture with your boyfriend?" The waiter took a few steps back with the Polaroid.

"It's not my boyfriend yet, don't spoil it, okay?" Su Xiaoqiao was suddenly happy when she heard this, and the waiter looked at the two of them in surprise before touching the back of her head and apologizing awkwardly.

"Trouble closer... A little closer... Could it be a little more intimate? ”

"Yes... Very good, trouble smile. ”

"This lady has a good smile, can the other side be a little gentler?"

Gentle... Lin Nian wanted to be as gentle as possible, but his facial management didn't listen to him, and Su Xiaoqiao on the side giggled, and thought in his heart, photographer, don't just let us get closer, if you have the courage, you can press me and his head! I will not resist! If you really want to accidentally kiss together, the eldest lady, I may buy the façade of this street as soon as I am happy, and give it all to you to open a coffee chain store!

Her thoughts flew with the lights in the café, and suddenly she turned her head and saw the gentle expression on Lin Nian's face as if she was amused, Wow Ka Ka, it turns out that this boy is also a person who can show this kind of smile? So he boldly stretched out the index fingers of both hands to help Lin Nian raise the corners of his mouth.

The waiter just captured this scene, the flash was on, waiting for the photo to wash out, in the photo the girl reached out to help the boy provoke a smile, the boy was a little surprised, his eyebrows flew up, and the girl was happy to laugh...

Young people's likes are always so inch-inch, shoulders rubbed together, they will hold hands, ten fingers clasped together will kiss, so natural, never satisfied.

But no one will blame them because they are young people.

Polaroid scoured out two photographs, one hung by the waiter in the center of the wall, and the other handed to Lin Nian.

"Give me the picture." Su Xiaoqiao smiled and handed the coin to Lin Nian, it seemed that she was very satisfied today, although the coin was wrong, she got the more important thing she wanted.

Lin Nian exchanged the photo for his coin, but after thinking about it, he handed it back to Su Xiaoqiao.

"What do you mean, I behaved well today, can I guess again?" Su Xiaoqiao collected the photo, the warm yellow light hit her face, and the smile behind her hair was reflected in the glass window.

Lin Nian looked at her and was stunned for a few seconds, but after a while, he still lowered his head and picked up Chu Tianjiao's folder, looked at the girl in front of him and said. "Next time."

"Next time, then." Su Xiaoqiao nodded, "I'll definitely guess it next time." ”

She stood in the coffee shop, watching the boy put on the trench coat on the coat rack, pushed open the glass door and walked into the garden of light rain, through the glass she watched the boy's back disappear into the white gardenias, as if she had a premonition that after this parting, the next time might be a long time later.

But so what?

Su Xiaoqiao opened her wallet, looked at the photos inside, and smiled softly.

It's been a long time, but it's worth the wait.
