Original sin

The place to eat was booked by Feng Hu, in a place called "Yunhai Villa" on the outskirts of the city.

That place is a bit far away, but because you take the outer ring road on the outskirts of the city, there is no traffic jam.

Originally, Shen Chen planned to go back to pick up his mother first, but Feng Hu said on the phone that he had already picked up Qiu Yuzhen, and he was in the villa now, so let Shen Chen and the others go directly.

Shen Shen didn't feel bored on the road, Long Xuejun was like a chatterbox, he never stopped talking.

"Crazy Long, why do I feel that you care more about my father's case than myself?" Shen Chen said suddenly.

Long Xuejun was chatting about a new movie that was released in the past two days, Shen Chen felt that he was really free, and he still had time to go to the movies, and he was alone.

Listening to Shen Chen's question, Long Xuejun replied: "It's okay to be idle, it's not good to be too idle, you have to find something to do for yourself, right? You know that when I was so idle in the mental hospital, the ants even fought me I can stare at it all day. I find that I can’t be idle, and when I am idle, I feel like I am really walking dead.”

Of course, Shen Chen would not believe his rhetoric, he suddenly realized that he had overlooked something, Long Xuejun might not be as simple as it seemed, he should have a background.

Long Xuejun seemed to see Shen Shen's doubts, he said with a smile: "Why, are you worried that I will plot against you?"

Shen Shen said flatly: "That may not be the case."

"Well, it's fine if you want to think so." Long Xuejun took out a cigarette and lit one, then picked up his phone and started playing games.

It was already past seven o'clock when they arrived at their destination.

Although the outer ring is less congested, it is only relative.

Lincheng is notoriously "blocked", especially because of the construction of the light rail in the past two years, many road sections have become even more congested.

Seeing Shen Chen and Long Xuejun coming in, Feng Hu came forward with a smile. Qiu Yuzhen sat with a smile on her face. It seemed that she and Feng Hu had a good chat just now.

"Shen Zi, the road must be badly blocked, right?"

Shen Chen smiled: "It's okay."

Then Shen Shen looked to the side of Long Xuejun and said to Feng Hu: "I don't need to introduce you, do I?"

Long Xuejun also smiled at Feng Hu: "Boss Feng, we meet again."

"You are the kid who claims to be a lunatic. I am very impressed. I have to say that you really shocked me."

Feng Hu's words were not a compliment, he was really amazed by Long Xuejun.

After Long Xuejun greeted Feng Hu, he walked up to Qiu Yuzhen: "Hello, Auntie!" Long Xuejun was very polite, and Qiu Yuzhen looked at him with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, sit down, sit down quickly."

Qiu Yuzhen kept her eyes fixed on Long Xuejun's face. She always felt that this face seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while.

"Xiaolong, have we met?" she asked.

Hearing her question, both Feng Hu and Shen Chen looked at Long Xuejun.

Long Xuejun was also dumbfounded: "I probably haven't seen it before." But soon he laughed: "My public face, no one in the crowd can remember it."

Qiu Yuzhen also smiled and said: "You are not the face of the public, you look better than my Shen Shen."

Everyone sat down, Feng Hu and Qiu Yuzhen sat on the front seats, next to their mother, and Long Xuejun seemed to be sitting next to Feng Hu on purpose.

Long Xuejun was also calm, and after sitting down, he didn't ask Feng Hu about his problems, but took the initiative to open the wine and pour it for everyone.

Shen Chen said that he would stop drinking after driving, but Feng Hu said: "What are you afraid of, I will call you a substitute driver at that time, it is rare to get together today, this wine must be drunk. Sister-in-law, you have to drink too. Have a drink."

Qiu Yuzhen also looked very happy: "Drink, you have to drink."

Since Qiu Yuzhen said so, Shen Shen naturally has nothing to say, Long Xuejun poured the wine and returned to his seat, Feng Hu lifted the cup: "Sister-in-law, I know you feel aggrieved all these years, to be honest, I also I'm aggrieved, but life is still going on, besides, I don't believe that the elder brother's case will never be solved. Now that Shen Zi has grown up, and has become the captain of the criminal police team, he is more promising than us back then. The big brother's case still has to fall on them."

After a pause, he said again: "I respect my sister-in-law for this glass of wine. You have worked hard all these years."

Qiu Yuzhen picked up the cup: "Thank you, Tiger." Qiu Yuzhen didn't say much, and drank the wine in one gulp. Shen Chen had never seen his mother so proud, and he was a little worried. Why did her mother drink alcohol on weekdays?

"Mom, take it easy."

"Mom is fine, don't worry, fill it up for Mom."

Shen Chen had no choice but to pour another cup for Qiu Yuzhen.

Qiu Yuzhen replied to Feng Hu: "Huzi, I know that Xiao Shenzi has been secretly investigating his father's case, you, as an uncle, should help him a lot." Feng Hu said: "That's natural, in fact, I have never Put it down, I have also found some clues secretly over the years, Shenzi, they are all here, you can take a look at them when the time comes, it should be helpful to you."

He picked up a USB flash drive at hand and handed it to Shen Chen.

At this moment, Long Xuejun spoke up: "Mr. Feng, that locker..."

Feng Hu smiled wryly: "I did order that locker back then, but I never used it. It was agreed with Shen Chen's father to transmit information. After Shen Chen's father left, the locker belonged to me." I just forgot about it, and I never thought that someone would use it to make a fuss."

"It shouldn't be cheap to rent such a cabinet, right?"

"It didn't cost much. The owner of that fitness club is our friend. He gave me and Shen Chen's father's VIP fitness card. Every VIP has its own dedicated locker."

"Then do you still have your key?"

"Of course it's still there."

"That's strange. Who put that half coin in, and who guided us to find it?"

"It's definitely not me. If it was me, there would be no need for such trouble. With the relationship between me and Shen Zi, it would be fine if I gave it to him directly." Feng Hu said.

Both Shen Chen and Long Xuejun nodded, just like Feng Hu gave Shen Chen the results of his investigation just now, how simple and direct they were face to face.

"Mr. Feng, did you go to the south these past few years to deceive others? Is there someone else watching you secretly? Besides, where did you get so much money? Don't tell me it's all from your business. Do not believe."

Only Long Xuejun dared to ask such a direct question, both Qiu Yuzhen and Shen Chen were out of face.

Feng Hu smiled, picked up a cigarette and gave it to Long Xuejun, and threw another one to Shen Shen before lighting it himself.

"You're right. I had to leave at the beginning, and I found that if I didn't leave, I would probably follow in Lao Shen's footsteps. But I'm not reconciled. As long as Lao Shen's case is not solved, I will not be able to calm down. Although I went to the south, I often sneak back to Lincheng to conduct secret investigations. As for how the money came from, can I say that I don't know?"

Shen Chen frowned, of course he didn't believe that Feng Hu didn't know where his money came from, even Qiu Yuzhen didn't have a smile on her face.

However, Long Xuejun still had a smile on his face: "You said you didn't know, could it be that someone gave it to you for nothing?"

"It's about the same, but you're not right about one thing. Of course, he won't give it away for free, and there are conditions, but his conditions are not contrary to my goal." Feng Hu said here and ate chopsticks.

"His condition is that you continue to investigate Uncle Shen's case?" Long Xuejun asked again.

Feng Hu laughed loudly: "I really doubt that you are not a lunatic at all."

"I am, I have identification certificates from several authoritative medical institutions."

Feng Hu rolled his eyes at him: "Since you are called Shen Zi's father, Uncle Shen, shouldn't you talk about Mr. Feng? Do you not want to treat me as one of your own, or do you still doubt me?"

Shen Chen didn't interrupt, and just watched the two quietly from the sidelines. Feng Hu is not simple, and Long Xuejun is a fuel-efficient lamp.Regarding Feng Hu's words, Shen Chen must be dubious, and regarding Long Xuejun, Shen Chen also has a big question mark in his heart.

At this moment, it seemed to be the stage for Long Xuejun and Feng Hu.

Long Xuejun said: "Uncle Feng, you have offended me a lot before, so don't take it to heart."

Only then did Long Xuejun nod his head: "That's right, that person's condition is that I continue to investigate Lao Shen's case. He will pay for whatever money is needed, but he can only pay for it, and cannot give me anything else. Help. This man is very mysterious, I tried to find out who he is several times, but in vain, and finally he warned me that if I check him again, he will suspend all financial help, you know, now Uncle Feng, I don’t have any source of income, but the investigation of the case cannot be done without sufficient funds, so I can only compromise. But what makes me feel strange is that he has no other requirements except for me to continue the investigation. He didn't even ask me for the results of the investigation. You say, is this a weirdo?"

Shen Chen said: "This person either has some relationship with my father, or he is a competitor of the other party. Maybe he had a game with the other party a few years ago, but he lost."

Long Xuejun echoed, "It makes sense."

Shen Chen and Long Xuejun toasted Feng Hu again. At the dinner table, Long Xuejun and Feng Hu did not test each other. More often, Feng Hu and Qiu Yuzhen were recalling the past, sometimes with joy, sometimes with emotion, but Shen Chen and Long Xuejun followed them A few words about the past.

The meal didn't end until after nine o'clock. Although Shen Chen didn't drink much, he still asked the driver to take them back.

When going back, Long Xuejun got into Feng Hu's car, because Long Xuejun's residence was in the same direction as Feng Hu.

Back home, Qiu Yuzhen asked Shen Chen: "Do you doubt your Uncle Feng?"

Shen Chen didn't answer, it was a tacit consent, they really thought that Uncle Feng was a little suspicious before.

But Qiu Yuzhen said: "I suspect that no one can doubt your Uncle Feng. He and your father have a life-threatening friendship, and he has been involved a lot and even suffered for your father's case. He saved your father's life, yes The kind that fights with his own life, many injuries on his body are also for your father."

"But father saved him too!"

"It's not the same. Your father saved him because he was in danger to save your father. He could have escaped at all. Forget it, I won't talk about it. I still say the same thing. I believe in your Uncle Feng's character." .”

He nodded heavily. Since his mother said so, then Feng Hu should have no problem. His mother has always been quite accurate in judging people.

"That kid named Long Xuejun is very interesting." Speaking of Long Xuejun, Qiu Yuzhen smiled again.

Shen Chen said: "Actually, I don't know him very well. I always feel that he is too enthusiastic about my affairs."

"This kid has no bad intentions, and he is very smart. Get along well with him, and he should be able to help you a lot. In addition, I heard him say something at night, you seem to have gone with a female reporter from the TV station. close?"

Shen Shen secretly scolded Long Xuejun for his big mouth.

"Just friends." Shen Shen didn't explain too much.

Qiu Yuzhen said: "I have no objection to you making friends, but to find a girlfriend, you must find someone who can live a life. Real life is not so romantic, and it is more trivial things like oil, salt, firewood, and rice. Mom said that these are not for you. Interfering with your freedom, just to give you some advice, Mom hopes that you can bring your girlfriend back sooner. Mom has already saved money for your marriage, and Mom is waiting to have a big fat grandson!"

Shen Chen was immediately speechless, and he didn't know how to respond every time this topic was brought up.

"Okay, I know you still have things to do, so go."

Knowing his son is more like his mother, Shen Shen is really anxious to see what kind of clues are in the USB flash drive that Feng Hu gave him. Hearing what his mother said, he responded: "Then you should also go to bed earlier."

After he finished speaking, he went into his study.
