In Lei Guang's account, he gave up his studies to help his parents support his elder brother to study, work, marry and have children, which was very selfless.

But in Miao Xiaohong's account, the interrogator saw Lei Guang as a different person.

With the confirmation of the two rooms, the bystander can see more of the truth.

Miao Xiaohong said that Lei Guang was shrewd, narrow-minded, and liked to calculate everywhere, but he was good to her and her family, and

he always responded to her requests. Lei Guang hated his parents, but he was very cunning and never showed it.

Lei Yan and Lei Guang were only two years apart.

Lei Yan failed the first year, and repeated a year, so he was only one grade higher than Lei Guang.

The Lei family is poor. Lei Guang's grandparents are in poor health and need medicine. Lei Guang is the only one who earns money in the family. He cannot afford to support two college students. The burden is too heavy - tuition is free, but living expenses are indispensable. Food, clothing, housing and transportation all cost money.

So, after Lei Yan was admitted to the university, Lei Guang talked to Lei Guang and said that the power bureau was short of workers and recruited high school graduates. If he failed the first year, he would not be allowed to repeat the year.

Lei Guang's grandfather retired from the power bureau. If he could get a recommendation, he would have acquaintances to look after him. If he learned a skill well, he would be able to do well anywhere in the future.

Lei Guang softened his heart at that time, and he was indeed not as good as Lei Yan in academic performance. The college entrance examination was difficult, and his score was not high. He did not even pass the technical secondary school entrance examination, so he willingly joined the power bureau.

At first, he was very happy. After paying the family expenses, he often ate and drank with a group of young brothers, and he could still have some pocket money.

Later, Lei Yan graduated and was assigned a job. His starting salary was higher than Lei Guang, who had been working for three years. The job was decent and easy, and it could be said that he had a bright future.

Lei Guang felt unbalanced, thinking that if he had repeated his studies and entered a good university, he would definitely be no worse than Lei Yan.

From then on, he stopped paying money to his family, kept his salary for himself, and occasionally scraped a little money from his parents.

Later, Lei Yan wanted to marry a wife. Old Lei asked for introductions and found Kong Chunxiang. Kong Chunxiang graduated from high school, was good-looking, had a good family background, and asked for a high gift. The Lei family spent a lot of money to marry her.

Lei Guang was a formal employee of the Electric Power Bureau. He was tall and good-looking, so Miao Xiaohong, who also worked at the Electric Power Bureau, fell in love with him.

Miao Xiaohong liked to dress up and had a beautiful face. When she gave him a few seductive glances, Lei Guang's bones softened.

Miao Xiaohong's family was poor and she had no dowry, so she didn't dare to ask for more gift.

So in the matter of marriage, the old couple of the Lei family really owed Lei Guang a lot.

So, Lei Guang wanted to repay his kindness and forced Lei Yan and his wife and the old Lei couple to pay for them to buy a house.

More than ten years later, the role of education became more and more important, and Lei Yan was promoted step by step.

Lei Guang only has skills but no education. He wants to study at TVU or night school but he doesn't have the energy. He has to work hard as a maintenance worker and stay where he is.

In addition, the Miao family is getting worse and worse. The silly brother is always causing trouble. He has to ask Miao Xiaohong for money. Miao Xiaohong doesn't have any money, so Lei Guang has to find a way.

What can Lei Guang do? He can only turn his palms up. It is common for the whole family to go to the Lei family to beg for money.

With all the above, it is impossible for Lei Guang not to envy and hate Lei Yan. He often complains at home. When he talks, he thinks about how it was in the past, how it is now, how the old Lei couple treats him, and how Lei Yan and Kong Chunxiang look at him.

Miao Xiaohong also thinks that Lei Yan has become arrogant after becoming a deputy manager, and he always puts on a high-handed look.

Kong Chunxiang also looked down on people - they had to change their shoes as soon as they went in, and Kong Chunxiang would wipe them again and again after sitting somewhere, as if they had crawled out of a shit hole.

In recent years, the two brothers have had fewer and fewer topics to talk about, and their conflicts have become greater and greater.

This summer, his eldest child was admitted to a key high school and needed a good learning environment, so Lei Guang wanted to move to a bigger house, but their old house was only worth 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, leaving a gap of more than 100,000 yuan.

Lei Guang wanted to borrow the money from the Lei family, but was rejected outright by Lei Yan and his wife, and the old couple of the Lei family, without any room for negotiation.

Lei Guang didn't say anything at the time, and left with a smile. After returning home, he was furious and smashed several bowls.

Miao Xiaohong felt that his temper came and went quickly, and it was over.

Miao Xiaohong didn't notice anything until the case happened.

But as soon as the case happened, she had a bad feeling - the police said that it was an acquaintance who committed the crime, and the murderer had a key. In addition to Lei Sheng, their family also had the Lei family key.

Then, Lei Guang stopped letting her go back to her parents' home, saying that he was avoiding suspicion. Miao Dachun also stopped visiting for the first time, and she understood everything.

Finally, Miao Xiaohong said, "Actually... the Lei family has been very kind to us. I never thought Lei Guang could go to such an extent, and I never thought my brother would do such a cruel thing for a few tens of thousands of yuan."

After listening to all the interrogation recordings, Li Ke relayed the statements of both sides to Xie Qing, and finally made a summary: "It was only a few tens of thousands of yuan, but four people died. The price was too high. 'A poor man has a short ambition, and a thin horse has long hair', 'A poor man is prone to gossip and has a weak ambition', the conclusions drawn by the common people are still quite reasonable." The value of

a household with a salary of 10,000 yuan in 1995 is quite high!

Xie Qing smiled and said, "A few tens of thousands is just a little bit, don't forget, your monthly salary is barely 200. Besides, what Lei Guangtu is after is not a few tens of thousands, but mainly the Lei family's property. The development zone has been demolished, will the old city be demolished in the future? That's all money!"

Li Ke stuck out his tongue, "You have a car and a mobile phone, isn't that just a little bit?"

Xie Qing smiled, "The car was given by my father, and the mobile phone was given by my brother, it has nothing to do with me?"

Li Ke borrowed a sentence from Xie Qing, "Yeah, it looks glamorous and capable, but it's just a matter of father. After all, my father is not as good as your father."

"So jealous." Xie Qing fanned her eyes with her hands, "Where's Lei Miao? Where did she go?"

Li Ke said, "I sent her to the hotel."

Xie Qing thought for a moment, "Let's go buy some things later and go see her."

...

In front of Fuyang Hotel.

Xie Qing and Li Ke got out of the car and walked in with a big bag of fruits and snacks.

"Xiao Xie, Li Ke?" Li Ji's voice came from behind.

"Passed?" The sisters turned around together, "Captain Tan."

Li Ji and Tan Yi came together, and Li Ji also had a big bag in his hand.

Li Ji came over, "Captain Tan couldn't find Li Ke, so he brought me here. He wanted to talk to Lei Miao and comfort her, but he didn't expect you to come too. It's just in time."

Li Ke looked at Tan Yi with admiration, "Captain Tan is so considerate."

Tan Yi nodded and entered the hotel first.

Xie Qing smiled and shook her head.

Li Ji whispered, "Captain Tan will only be embarrassed if you praise him like this, don't you know?"

"None of your business!" Li Ke blushed, "I also praised Captain Huang."

Xie Qing said, "Captain Huang is a veteran, but Captain Tan is still a rookie. They are different."

The hotel's hardware facilities are good. There was some noise in the lobby, so her voice was amplified.

"Tsk..." Li Ji pushed Xie Qing's elbow, "Keep your voice down, Captain Tan is watching us."

Xie Qing looked forward and saw Tan Yi standing three meters away, looking at her in inexplicable surprise.

She touched her neck uncomfortably and said to herself, "Captain Tan, Lei Miao lives in 3008."

Tan Yi said, "Thank you."

Xie Qing was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Tan Yi say again, "I may not be a seasoned veteran, but I'm definitely not a greenhorn."

"Puff..." Li Ke laughed.

Xie Qing forced an explanation, "Captain Tan, greenhorn actually means that you are not old or greasy, fresh and clean."

"Oh..." Tan Yi turned around and went upstairs. "Isn't it that a greenhorn has so many meanings? Just take it as an exaggeration."

Xie Qing said seriously, "Don't disbelieve me. My 'greenhorn' is in quotation marks, which is used to distinguish it from a 'middle-aged greasy man'."

Li Ke hugged Xie Qing's arm and asked shamelessly, "What does a middle-aged greasy man look like? Tell me about it."

Xie Qing said, "A big belly, unkempt, wearing bracelets, playing with walnuts, self-righteous, a good man always mentions his bravery in his youth, and uses big He teaches others about principles, talks about ancient culture from time to time to show off his pitiful cultural literacy, flaunts his wealth, holds his bag, disrespects his wife, and occasionally tells a few dirty jokes. "

Li Ke was surprised, "Qingqing, I think you are targeting Captain Li of Feng'an Branch."

Li Ji was also surprised, "Xiao Xie, do you know my dad?" He looked down at the small leather bag under his arm, "Also, Captain Tan and I both hold bags, where would we put things if we didn't?"

Tan Yi was walking in front and suddenly took the bag under his arm in his hand.

Fortunately, none of the three noticed him.

Xie Qing said, "If you know someone who makes leather goods, you can ask them to make a few genuine leather casual shoulder bags. They are convenient to carry and can hold a lot of things."

Li Ji shook his head, "I haven't heard of anyone doing that here."

...

After a few words, everyone reached the third floor, and Li Ke knocked on Lei Miao's door.

The little girl was hit hard again. She just said "Come in", then shed tears and fell silent.

Li Ke said, "If you have any difficulties, you can tell us. We will definitely help if we can."

Lei Miao shook his head.

Xie Qing said, "If possible, I suggest you go back to school earlier and be with your teachers and classmates. Your parents will also be able to rest in peace. As for certain people, don't think about them. When faced with money and injustice, good people have a bottom line, but bad people don't. You are a college student and should understand the diversity of species. You don't have to know why."

Lei Miao raised his eyes to tears, "When did they die?"

Tan Yi spoke, "This case has a huge impact and the trial should be held soon."

Tears welled up in Lei Miao's eyes, "That's great, the sooner the better."

Xie Qing took out a tissue from the bag, tore a piece and handed it to her, and gave another to Li Ke.

Tan Yi said, "I have already contacted the leaders of your school. If you have anything, you can talk to your class teacher."

Lei Miao nodded and said, "Thank you."

Li Ke also said, "You have me on the page. If you have something, call me. I will reply you when I have time."

"Okay." Lei Miao said, "I have already bought the train ticket back to Beijing. I will leave early tomorrow morning."

Xie Qing breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that most people who escaped would protect themselves. This girl might be lonely in the future, but she will always survive. It is a blessing in disguise.

When they came down from the building, they met Lei Sheng.

Lei Sheng is a kind-hearted person. His reputation was once damaged for helping the police solve the case. If Tan Yi had not informed the scrap company, he would probably have been fired.

With their family taking care of Lei Miao, Lei Miao would not be isolated and helpless in everything.

...

Lei Miao was not in the mood to eat together, so the group went to Lao Wang BBQ on Fuyang Commercial Street.

The four of them sat around a small table, drinking tea and chatting.

Li Ji said, "Although the case has been solved, I still feel heavy in my heart. Some people's nature is too ugly, so ugly that it's suffocating."

Li Ke asked, "Captain Tan, who do you think is more right, Lei Guang or Miao Xiaohong? Also, why didn't Lei Guang mention the house purchase?"

Tan Yi sat back and lit a cigarette, "He feels he was wronged about the house purchase, but he dares not say anything. Miao Xiaohong feels guilty and should say it more objectively. Lei Guang will definitely put all the blame on the victim to make himself feel better." Xie

Qing nodded.

Li Ji said, "It's obvious that Miao Dachun is the pitiful man."

Li Ke said, "What is pitiful about him?"

Li Ji said, "Incompetent, ignorant, greedy, irritable, impulsive, and without ambition. If there hadn't been the temptation of lightning and the conspiracy, he would never have done such a thing and would have fought with strangers on the street."

"That's true." Li Ke said, "Good and evil are often just a matter of thought. There must be something hateful about a pitiful person."

The waiter brought up the draft beer.

Xie Qing said, "I won't drink today when I'm driving. I'll drink tea instead of wine."

Li Ji said, "I know your tolerance. You won't get drunk after one glass of wine."

Xie Qing poured herself a cup of tea. "Wine is actually very pitiful. People don't ask us to drink it. When we get drunk and something happens, we blame it on alcohol. I'll let it go today."

Tan Yi said, "Your opinion is very interesting."

Xie Qing shook her head. "I'm leaving now."

Tan Yi brushed off the ashes and picked up the wine glass. "Although I've already thanked you, I still want to say thank you. You have made an invaluable contribution to this case. And you all, you have worked so hard for so long."

Li Ji shrank his neck. "Captain Tan, you are too polite. This is our job."

Li Ke said, "That's right."

Xie Qing bumped him with the teacup. "Captain Tan, just thank yourself. It was your words that inspired me at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of it." "

Okay, I thank myself too." Tan Yi drank it all in one gulp and put the glass down. "Xiao Xie is right. It's not good to drink while driving. The rest belongs to you two."

Li Ke and Li Ji said in unison, "Ah?"
