The restaurant suddenly fell silent, and Lu Qian's words were like a small pebble thrown into a calm lake, rippling outward layer by layer. Shao Ran on the other side of the screen looked at Qiao Shen with wide eyes, the latter sat on the side and didn't speak, and his expressionless face was particularly penetrating. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came, he heard this shocking secret, Shao Ran was silent, and was struggling for a while if Lao Qiao was impulsive, whether he would stop it or not.

After a long silence, Zhou Yunlan's voice finally came from the other side of the screen, and she asked Lu Qian: "Does Qiao Shen know?" ”

Shao Ran glanced at Lao Qiao and said in his heart, he knows now.

Lu Qian said: "He doesn't know. I didn't even think to involve him. I'm going to be honest with you today, just to ask you personally. ”

Zhou Yunlan is a woman who is more rational than emotional, and she will not impose Lu Wei's fault on Lu Qian, so she nodded at Lu Qian in a calm tone: "You say." ”

"I want to know who the woman who testified against my dad was."

Zhou Yunlan's fingertips stiffened obviously, and it took two seconds to return to normal. She asked, "Why don't you just go to the Public Security Bureau and apply for access to the fire accident investigation data?" ”

"I went to the Public Security Bureau 10 years ago to apply for a reopening of the case. But the Public Security Bureau, citing personnel changes, told me that the file was missing. They said that it was too old and lacked evidence to make it impossible to retry the case. Lu Qian continued, "I have also visited all the families of the other victims, and now the only person who is likely to know who that woman is is you." ”

"You want to overturn your dad's case?" Zhou Yunlan's tone suddenly rose twice.

Lu Qian nodded without humility or arrogance: "I believe that my father is not an arsonist." As a firefighter, he loves his job more than anyone else. In case you don't know, I was in the hotel at the time, and I was rescued by the hotel security guard when the fire broke out. He saved a total of five people that day, and the last woman he saved was a witness who later testified that he was an arsonist. At that time, he knew that the building was about to collapse, but he still rushed into the fire for the sixth time. If he was really an arsonist, would this be justified? ”

"I did read the file back then, but at that time, the Public Security Bureau took measures to keep the witnesses confidential. There is no record of the witnesses in the interrogation record, so I'm afraid I can't help you. In addition......" Zhou Yunlan soothed Lu Qian, who was getting more and more excited, with his eyes, "Do you know that your father received five psychological treatments not long before arson?" ”

Lu Qian was slightly stunned, she had never heard of this matter.

Zhou Yunlan said unhurriedly: "At that time, you were too young, and many things may not be clear. However, your mother should know that she also received psychological treatment the night before the fire, and before that, he was suspended from work for more than half a month for psychological reasons. ”

Lu Qian shook his head: "Impossible, my dad has been in the army and is very busy......"

"Every father wants to leave the impression of a great man in the hearts of his children, but the truth is often very different from the reality, and it is possible that your mother will not tell you to protect you." When Qiao Hao first left, Zhou Yunlan even thought about committing suicide by throwing himself into the river with Qiao Shen in his arms. 21 years have passed, and no matter how strong her emotions are, she just wants to protect her son well, and she doesn't want to be entangled with Lu Qian anymore.

Lu Qian saw that Zhou Yunlan was leaving, so he quickly pressed her handbag: "A firefighter who takes saving people and disaster relief as his mission to set fires?" An arson case that involved neither organized crime nor drug crime, but with witness secrecy activated? All the original files of the case concerning human lives were lost? With so many unreasonable places, don't you have the slightest doubt? ”

"Miss Lu." Zhou Yunlan looked at Lu Qian impatiently, "The purpose of my coming to you today must be very clear to you." Even if you can prove that your dad is not an arsonist, I will not agree to our family Qiao Shen dating a girl who is engaged in firefighting. So I advise you not to waste your time on this matter. ”

Lu Qian turned around and told Nanqu about the failure of the negotiation, and let her not have to inquire about Zhou Yunlan's itinerary anymore.

Nanqu said: "Aunt Lin came to me, let me persuade you to break up with Qiao Shen as soon as possible." ”

Lu Qian thought that Ms. Lin was going to leave her to fend for herself, but she didn't expect that she was just playing a side game.

Nanqu continued: "I think Aunt Lin is right, Zhou Yunlan objected to you and Qiao Shen being together without knowing your identity, let alone now." So, you and Qiao Shen break up! ”

Lu Qian: "...... It's not together, what's the breakup? ”

"Forget it. Anyway, I persuaded and persuaded you, but you didn't listen to it. ”

Lu Qian: "?? ”

Nanqu said, "You make your own decisions, don't get into the horns, and feel free to contact me if you need help." ”

"Hmm."

"By the way, Zhou Yunlan will definitely keep Qiao Shen at a distance from you when he turns around, she is Qiao Shen's mother after all......"

"I know." Lu Qian pinched the tender meat in his palm, "I know that he will know the truth sooner or later, rather than letting him hear about it from others, it is better for me to tell him personally." I'll find a chance to explain it to him. ”

They are all people who are about to run to three, and Lu Qian doesn't want her and Qiao Shen to be separated because of a misunderstanding. If she encounters a problem, she hopes to have an open and honest conversation with Qiao Shen. Regardless of the final decision, it must be made after serious discussions with each other.

Nanqu has always been the person who knows Lu Qian best, and he didn't say much nonsense, but said: "Mr. Jin said, no matter what stupid decision you make, we will admit it." ”

Lu Qian was not happy when he heard this: "What is a stupid decision, you tell Crazy Jin." He, Master Lu, I am the smartest in the world! ”

Jin Changfeng patted Nanqu's arm: "Sister, don't talk about the long and short with fools." ”

"I heard all the crazy Jin......" beeped twice, and the phone hung up.

On the way back to the army, Lu Qian sent a WeChat message to Qiao Shen: [When are you free, shall we meet? ] 】

Qiao Shen, who has always returned in seconds, didn't return this time.

"Lu Qianfa's?" Zhou Yunlan asked, and said impatiently, "Don't sit on the front of the car, you can say anything directly." ”

As soon as Zhou Yunlan arrived at the parking lot, he was blocked by his son, who was holding a cigarette between his long fingers and leaning on the hood to play with his mobile phone.

The driver, Xiao Wang, knew this uncle, and he didn't dare to pick up people, nor did he dare to continue to sit in the car. In the weather of minus two or three degrees, I could only obediently get out of the car and accompany Uncle Qiao to blow the cold wind.

Finally, the man jumped out of the front of the car.

Zhou Yunlan called him: "Put out the smoke." ”

He obediently threw the cigarette butt in the trash, pulled the car door open and sat in.

"Didn't I tell you that I wasn't free at this time, why did I come over anyway?" Zhou Yunlan instructed Xiao Wang, "Go to the company." ”

Xiao Wang is accustomed to the way the mother and son get along, and driving is called a stable. Just sneak a peek at the back seat from time to time.

Qiao Shen raised the partition in the back seat, obstructing Xiao Wang's vision: "I met Staff Officer Qiu at the door." ”

Zhou Yunlan's eyes flickered, and he was calm on the surface: "What did he tell you?" ”

"Half an hour ago, he said you asked my girlfriend out for dinner."

Zhou Yunlan's face tightened, half an hour ago, that is to say, Qiao Shen should have heard all the content of the conversation between her and Lu Qian.

Zhou Yunlan simply didn't hide it from him, and said bluntly: "It's good if you know." Not to mention that her father killed your father, I can't accept her identity as ......"

Qiao Shen glanced at Zhou Yunlan, and before she could finish speaking, he interrupted her: "I'll talk about this later." ”

Zhou Yunlan: "......"

"Let's talk about who testified against Lu Wei in the first place." Qiao Shen said, "I should have seen that woman." ”

"When have you seen it?" Zhou Yunlan asked very quickly.

She rarely has nervous moments, and others usually stutter when they are nervous, but Zhou Yunlan is just the opposite, the more nervous she is, the faster she speaks, and the more aggressive she speaks.

Lu Qian didn't know this, but Qiao Shen knew it very well, and he asked Zhou Yunlan: "On the second day of Dad's funeral, she came to our house, right?" ”

Zhou Yunlan thought that Qiao Shen was cheating her, after all, Qiao Shen was having a high fever at that time, with an intermittent high fever for a week, and he was so confused that he couldn't even tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, and he had been lying on the bed for infusion, and he didn't even have the strength to get out of bed, how could he have seen that woman.
