Original sin

Shen Shen didn't expect that Wang Lu and Xu Jing would invite him to dinner at the same time. Although he didn't explicitly agree to Wang Lu before, Wang Lu's tone was very affirmative, and Shen Shen didn't have time to refuse when he hung up the phone.

As for Xu Jing being even more domineering, her tone was almost unquestionable.

And Shen Shen knew that what Xu Jing wanted to tell him and what he wanted to give him should be related to his father's case, so Xu Jing asked him to go there, but what about Wang Lu?

Driving the car, he drove towards the place Xu Jing said.

Xu Jing ordered a shrimp and sour beef restaurant near Dayingpo.

Shrimp sour is a characteristic of the southern part of Qianzhou Province. It is a fermented seasoning. People who are not used to it can't smell that kind of smell, but many people find it delicious after eating it. The most important thing is that it is very appetizing. , can arouse people's appetite.

In the car, Shen Shen decided to give Wang Lu a call to explain.

As soon as he picked up the phone, Wang Lu called first.

"Xu Jing asked you out?"

Shen Shen was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why Wang Lu would ask such a question, he said "um", Wang Lu said that Xu Jing also called him and said that he wanted to invite her to dinner.

Shen Chen didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Xu Jing's gourd, he didn't seem to say that he would have dinner with Wang Lu tonight!

After parking the car and walking to the entrance of the restaurant, he saw Xu Jing. Xu Jing was talking and laughing with a woman. Great temperament.

"Hey, why are you alone, where is Wang Lu?" Xu Jing asked in surprise, not seeing Wang Lu.

Shen Chen coughed: "She said she took a taxi by herself."

Xu Jing gave her a deep look: "She said you really asked him to take a taxi. Why are you so honest? Do you think it's easy to take a taxi in Lincheng at this point? Hurry up, call her and ask her if she got a taxi. If you don’t get a call, you’d better go and pick it up. Tell me, why don’t you have a gentleman at all.”

He really didn't think about the black line at the heavy end, he just thought that his family and Wang Lu's family didn't seem to be on the same road, one was in the east of the city and the other was in the west of the city, it took a lot of time to go there.

But he still called Wang Lu, who said she was already in the car and would be there in less than 10 minutes.

Hearing what Shen Chen said, Xu Jing said: "Then let's go in and sit down and wait."

Xu Jing booked a private room, and after the three of them sat down, Xu Jing introduced to Shen Shen: "This is my first sister, Xiao Zhenqin, who is a returnee with a doctorate degree, and is now the top brand of Summit Education Group."

Shen Chen stretched out his hand with a smile: "Shen Chen."

Xiao Zhenqin and Shen Chen lightly shook hands, and their hands were soon released.

Xiao Zhenqin also showed a smile on his face: "Team Shen, don't listen to her nonsense, I'm just an ordinary teacher, but Team Shen's name is really resounding, Detective Lincheng, which scares many criminals."

Shen Shen waved his hands in embarrassment: "They are all bragging, what kind of detective, I am just an ordinary little policeman."

Xiao Zhenqin said: "Captain Shen is too modest. Just now Xu Jing was saying that you solved two huge cases in one go, and even dug up a drug gang."

Shen Chen rolled her eyes at Xu Jing, this woman really works in the media, her mouth must be a little quicker.

After a while, Wang Lu arrived. She was taken aback when she saw Xiao Zhenqin, and then the expression on her face was exaggerated: "Are you Teacher Xiao?"

Xiao Zhenqin was also a little surprised: "You know me?"

"Well, my brother's son is in your remedial class. I have listened to one of your classes, tsk tsk, there is nothing to say. It would be great if the teachers in the school can have your level."

As Wang Lu spoke, she touched Shen Shen: "You know what? My brother's kid is so skinny, playful, and doesn't like studying at all. There is no way my brother enrolls him in Teacher Xiao's remedial class. Guess what? , It’s just one semester, the child seems to be a different person, he is no longer playful like before, and he has also developed the habit of studying. In the past, the first thing he did when he got home was to pick up his mobile phone and shake his hands. Kuaiyin or something, or playing games. Now I go back and play, but I know that I have to finish my homework first. Teacher Xiao, I am really curious, how did you make these children change their learning attitudes?"

Xiao Zhenqin smiled: "Actually, it's nothing. I just know what the children are thinking now, and then guide them based on the actual situation of each child. Every child has self-esteem and self-motivation. Once you know them What do you really want, and then communicate with them well, like friends, so that they can listen to what you say. Instead of blindly coercing you like some parents do, that kind of coercion will short-term you It will feel effective, but the child's heart is very rebellious, or, under such pressure, they lose their independent personality and individuality, and become a so-called good child who seems docile but has no self. Or, after such suppression reaches a certain level, they develop a rebellious mentality. Once this kind of resistance breaks out, the result will be terrible. He will doubt everything, deny everything, and let himself go completely. At that time, he will hate everything Constraints can easily lead to distortion of personality and form an anti-social personality."

Wang Lu opened her eyes wide and kept nodding: "Ms. Xiao said it very well. Many criminals will have psychological problems of one kind or another, and most of the root causes of all this come from education, schools, etc. education, family education, and social education. Lack of education is likely to distort their three views, and they even dismiss the most basic universal values. The interests of others, and what's more terrible, they completely ignore the lives of others."

Xiao Zhenqin also nodded and said, "That's right, that's indeed the case."

Seeing that the two were chatting happily, Xu Jing said: "Okay, you guys don't talk about this topic anymore, you see we can't get in the way at all!"

Xiao Zhenqin was a little embarrassed: "Look at me, I can't stop talking about children."

Wang Lu said: "My brother's kid also asks Mr. Xiao to take care of him. His name is Wang Hailin."

Xiao Zhenqin nodded seriously.

Shen Chen has been sitting by the side smoking. He wanted to ask Xu Jing what important things he wanted to tell him, but he also knew that now was not the time.

He also couldn't figure it out, since Xu Jing had something to do with him, why did he invite Wang Lu and Xiao Zhenqin to come.

"What are you thinking?" Xu Jing looked at the frowning Shen Shen and asked.

"It's nothing."

"Okay, I know what you're thinking. My sisters met on a temporary basis and haven't seen each other for a long time, so I brought her with me. I thought that since this is the case, there is no shortage of Wang Lu."

Xu Jing's voice was very low, and Wang Lu and Xiao Zhenqin were also chatting, so only Shen Chen could hear it.

Smile bitterly.

Xu Jing took out a small envelope from her bag and handed it to Shen Chen: "Go back and read."

Wang Lu saw Xu Jing's little moves, but she pretended not to see them, and still had a lively chat with Xiao Zhenqin.

After a while, the waiter brought the food together, and then asked them if they wanted something to drink. Xu Jing originally wanted to order some beer, but Shen Shen said that he was driving and couldn't drink. In addition, Xiao Zhenqin and Wang Lu didn't want to drink, so they ordered I ordered four bottles of quinoa juice.

Meals that don't drink alcohol are usually very fast. The main reason is that only Shen Chen actually eats, and the three women only eat a little food. They all say they want to keep fit, but Shen Shen is still very shocked by the woman's ability to eat food , Two and a half catties of beef and a lot of vegetables were eaten in the end, and Shen Shen was a little skeptical, could this really keep her figure?

But when he saw the three women in front of him, he really didn't dare to doubt, no matter which one of these three women was in good shape.

After dinner, Xiao Zhenqin said that she had something to leave first, and Wang Lu said that she wanted to rub her car. Wang Lu knew in her heart that Xu Jing and Shen Chen must have something to talk about.

When she left, Wang Lu's face was very casual, but her heart was a little complicated.

"Wang Lu seems to be very interested in you." Xu Jing watched Xiao Zhenqin's car leave, and said softly.

Shen Chen pursed his lips, did not answer, but just silently lit a cigarette.

"Do you know Wang Lu?"

Shen Shen was slightly taken aback, and Xu Jing said, "I mean, do you know her family background?"

Shen Shen said lightly: "Why should I understand?"

"It's not like your style, I thought you would know everyone around you."

"You are wrong, I will not investigate people around me casually, especially my friends."

Xu Jing didn't expect him to say: "What about me?"

"I think we should be considered friends." Shen Shen exhaled a smoke ring.

Xu Jing was secretly delighted, and a smile appeared on her face: "Do you think I should feel very lucky?"

"You didn't come to me just to talk about Wang Lu, did you?" Shen Shen said as he was about to take out the envelope. He couldn't help being curious, but Xu Jing stopped him: "I said, let you Went home to watch."

Shen Shen had no choice but to put the envelope away again.

"Walk with me!" Xu Jing said and walked to the river.

Along the Nanming River, two figures walked slowly.

"The envelope contained an unsent letter. The letter was addressed to your father, but the contents of the letter were incomprehensible."

Shen Shen frowned: "Where did the letter come from?"

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?"

Shen Shen turned her head to look at her, her expression was very calm, and she looked into the distance: "Someone put it in my letter box, a blank envelope, and there is such a letter inside."

Shen Chen didn't doubt it, but he was a little puzzled, who put this envelope in Xu Jing's mailbox, and why didn't that person give it to him directly, even in such an anonymous way.

Xu Jing said: "In the end, I have been trying to find out about your father. Maybe someone has been following me. It just so happens that he has some clues about your father's case in his hand, so he sent the things to me. Here it comes."

Shen Chen felt that Xu Jing's words made some sense, and thinking about it, that person probably did this because he didn't want others to know, so he didn't want to interact with him.

"It should have been placed yesterday. I check the mailbox every morning, but there was nothing there yesterday morning. I saw it lying in the mailbox early this morning."

"you have seen?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would I say I don't understand?" Xu Jing was very calm.

But it's not her fault, everyone is curious, and so is she.

When I see a blank envelope with something in my mailbox, I will naturally open it to see what is inside.

Walking with Xu Jing by the river for a while, the two separated. Shen Shen kept thinking about the contents of the envelope, and was anxious to go back to see what was said in the letter. Why did Xu Jing say she couldn't understand it.

Back home, Shen Chen just said hello to his mother, then plunged into his study, closed the door, took out the letter from the envelope, and was stunned after only one glance.
