Xu Mingzhi looked at him, smiled lightly, and didn't rush to answer, leaned over and took the cup of golden cinnamon in the tea soup, and after tasting it, he raised his eyebrows and praised: "Good tea." ”

"The tea here is bought by the proprietress herself, so the quality is not bad. If Team Xu likes it, I'll bring some back later. Zhang Liangcheng also pulled a smile at the corner of his mouth, and at this time, the two seemed to be just friends sitting here gossiping. The saber rattling just now was like an illusion.

"No, I don't. I don't usually drink much tea. Tea tasting also takes time and mood, and our kind of work, even if we drink tea, is also a cow drink. Xu Mingzhi said and took another sip.

Then, he put down his teacup, picked up another refreshment, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhang Liangcheng stretched out his hand and pushed another plate of refreshments in front of him, and said, "Try this, it's a specialty here." He pushed over a plate of black pastry, and he couldn't tell what the ingredients were.

Xu Mingzhi took a piece and took a bite, there was no taste at first, but after chewing it twice, there was a sour and slightly salty taste, which was a very unique taste.

Xu Mingzhi nodded and said, "It tastes good." Then, after eating all the pastries in two bites, he took the cup and poured the rest of the tea into his mouth.

Seeing this, Zhang Liangcheng poured him another glass.

Xu Mingzhi watched the tea soup swirl in the cup, and the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to have some deep meaning.

Suddenly, he asked, "Your brother is also in his thirties this year, right?" ”

Zhang Liangcheng was pouring tea for a moment, and then replied: "Well, it's 32." ”

"That's not small, I haven't had a girlfriend all the time?" Xu Mingzhi asked again. His tone was like that of an elder who loves to worry and gossip.

"I talked about one when I was in college, and then the two broke up because of some things, and he couldn't get out after that, and then it dragged on until now." Zhang Liangcheng said, while taking another teacup, and gave Xu Mingzhi a cup of Yunnan red that had just been poured into the fair cup: "This is Yunnan red, taste it, it will be a little different from cinnamon." ”

Xu Mingzhi glanced at the crimson tea soup and raised his eyes to look at Zhang Liangcheng: "That was almost ten years ago, right?" ”

Zhang Liangcheng nodded: "The year of the breakup, my mother died, and he has never been able to get out, which has something to do with it." He has always had a good relationship with my mother, and he may not be able to accept it. ”

"And how is your relationship with your brother?" Xu Mingzhi asked again.

Zhang Liangcheng pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before replying, "It's not bad." However, he is introverted and not very good at expressing himself, but he is still very interested in something. ”

"Your brother should be very good to him, right?" This sentence sounded very casual, but it made the expression on Zhang Liangcheng's face a little unnatural.

He lowered his eyes and staggered Xu Mingzhi's gaze and did not answer.

Seeing this, Xu Mingzhi lightly tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa twice, and then asked, "Where was he on the night of the 1st?" ”

Zhang Liangcheng raised his head to meet his gaze and said, "I don't know about this, Team Xu should ask him directly." ”

Xu Mingzhi smiled and said, "Since you already have a choice in your heart, why do you have to hide it from me anymore." You are cooperating with me now, not only to help yourself, but also to help him. ”

Zhang Liangcheng couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said unhappily: "Listening to the meaning of Team Xu's words, it seems that there is conclusive evidence to prove that this case is related to my brother?" ”

"Do you think I'd come to you if I didn't have proof?" Xu Mingzhi asked rhetorically.

Zhang Liangcheng's expression froze, and in his eyes staring at Xu Mingzhi, something was silently shattered.

He lowered his eyes again and said lightly, "I really don't know. ”

"And what do you know?" Xu Mingzhi asked.

Zhang Liangcheng didn't say anything, he sat there, his back seemed to be a little more bent. After a while, he reached for a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, he spoke: "That girl, I have met once." ”

When Xu Mingzhi heard this, he couldn't help but move. That's a big catch.

"However, I really didn't recognize the body when I identified it before, and I didn't deliberately hide it. It took me two days to remember. Zhang Liangcheng was probably worried that Xu Mingzhi would think he was committing perjury, so he hurriedly explained.

"It was about the end of April, I can't remember exactly what day, I went home to see my dad, Xueyi also went back, not long after I got home, he said he was going to go out, I didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't come back to dinner, he didn't answer his phone, I went out to look for him, and then I saw him near Huangli Village, when he was standing with a little girl talking. It's been a long time since I've seen him mingle with any girl, and it's near home, so I wanted to go and see it, but as soon as I passed, the girl left, and I just saw it from a distance, which is why I didn't recognize it that day. ”

After Zhang Liangcheng finished speaking, he raised his hand and drank the tea in the cup. Then, he leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and muttered softly: "He has been very well-behaved since he was a child, and he will help the family when he is six or seven years old." When I went to college, he had just entered junior high school, and he was worried that I would not have enough money to spend outside, so he would save his pocket money, and then when I came home, he would secretly stuff it in my school bag......"

Speaking of this, Zhang Liangcheng choked for a moment, and then he opened his eyes and looked at Xu Mingzhi: "After my mother died, he had depression, I took him to a psychiatrist, and he also took medicine, but he has been better in the past few years." Although he is introverted and doesn't talk much, he is not a ruthless person, he even ......" Zhang Liangcheng closed his eyes before continuing: "When he sees cats and dogs that have been killed on the road, he will stop the car, wrap them up and take them back, and find a place to bury them." How could he possibly kill someone! Zhang Liangcheng stared at Xu Mingzhi, but there was no disbelief in his eyes, but a color of pathos. Obviously, this last question is just his unwilling struggle.

Xu Mingzhi didn't sympathize with the murderer, but looking at Zhang Liangcheng in front of him, he felt a little unbearable. He reached out and took the teapot, filled the cup in front of him, and said, "Human nature has always been multifaceted, and a person is full of compassion for cats and dogs, just because he is the same for people." ”

"Can you tell me, what is your reason for suspicion of him? Was it because the body was found in my mother's grave? Zhang Liangcheng asked unwillingly.

Those doubts and verification processes naturally cannot be explained in detail with Zhang Liangcheng. However, it is not impossible to say nothing. He looked at Zhang Liangcheng, pondered for a while, and said, "Naturally, it's not just because of this, but it is indeed because of this when I was suspicious of you at the beginning. Your mother's grave is not on the side of the road, it is very secluded, the road is not easy to walk, and it is difficult to find it during the day, let alone at night. Therefore, the murderer chose to be there, definitely not just by happening, but with a clear goal. There are many people who know the location of your grave, but they also know that your two brothers often visit your mother's grave, and even so, if someone else buried her body in your mother's grave, it will be easy for you to find out. Only you can guarantee that no one else will touch your mother's grave, can you? ”

Zhang Liangcheng's face was ugly and silent.

After Xu Mingzhi glanced at him, he forked a piece of fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. After just two bites, Zhang Liangcheng still didn't give up, and struggled again: "You can only be regarded as an inference, not evidence." Since you are so sure that the murderer is Xueyi, there must be other evidence. ”

"Naturally, there is, but now that the murderer has not been brought to justice, he naturally can't tell you."
