Zhou Qiang: "Do you know Li Liang?"
Jiang Qing seemed to have just noticed him at this moment and asked, "Who are you?"
"Hey, you," the thin guy couldn't stand others ignoring his brother Zhou, and immediately jumped out when he saw this, "We just met at the police station yesterday."
Jiang Qing suddenly realized, "Oh, I remember now, you are the group of people who lost money yesterday."
Skinny guy: ...That's true, but it sounds so awkward.
Zhou Qiang frowned and asked again, "Do you know Li Liang?"
Jiang Qing looked at him warily, "Who? We don't know the person you're talking about."
She turned to Lin Nanyan for approval, "Really?"
Lin Nanyan nodded in agreement, "Yes, we don't know each other."
The two were about to go out, but were stopped in their tracks by a sentence.
Zhou Qiang: "Li Liang is dead."
Jiang Qing turned around and glared at Zhou Qiang, "Are you sick? I'm warning you to be careful with your words and not curse others casually."
The thin man stood up and pointed at Jiang Qing and wanted to say something, but Zhou Qiang pressed his head and pushed him back.
Zhou Qiang took a few steps forward and said word by word, "I said, Li Liang is dead. He died last night."
Jiang Qing's face turned pale, and she forced herself to ask, "What evidence do you have?"
Zhou Qiang: "I called him personally. Li Qingyun asked him to meet at the old place last night. Today, the police came to our door to find out what happened."
He said: "He is dead. He was killed by Li Qingyun."
Jiang Qing's eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't believe it. "Who is Li Qingyun? Why did he kill Li Liang? Where is the old place?"
"You don't know?" Zhou Qiang looked her up and down.
Lin Nanyan blocked Jiang Qing behind him and did not dodge Zhou Qiang's gaze.
"She doesn't know," Lin Nanyan said calmly, "We're here to report a missing person."
Zhou Qiang thought for a moment, "That's right, you guys shouldn't know about him..."
He didn't continue with the rest of the words. The dead are the greatest, and there is no need for him to say much about what happened before their death.
"Li Qingyun and Li Liang are relatives from the same hometown. Li Liang can be considered Li Qingyun's cousin, but only very distantly. They went to the same high school."
Jiang Qing couldn't help but stick her head out and asked, "Jiangyuan No. 3 Middle School?"
Zhou Qiang glanced at her and said, "Yes, Jiangyuan No. 3 Middle School. They are in the same grade, but in different classes."
Jiang Qing secretly stretched out a finger and poked Lin Nanyue wildly. They guessed correctly. The dead Li Liang was the Li Liang that Song Yao mentioned. They were really the same person.
It turns out that Li Qingyun and Li Liang are both students of Jiangyuan No. 3 Middle School.
Lin Nanyan held Jiang Qing's fingers with his hands behind his back to prevent her from moving.
Zhou Qiang: "Li Qingyun was arrested for murder in high school and spent a year in a juvenile detention center before being transferred to Jiangpu Prison. He was released yesterday after serving his sentence."
"Brother Liang introduced him to us, and we picked him up. You saw him yesterday."
"As for the conflicts and the old agreements between them..."
"Brother Liang didn't tell us, so we don't know either." He looked at Lin Nanyan's lowered brows and the woman standing behind him, and his tone sank. "Now it seems that you don't know either."
As for what Li Liang had said to him before, such as that he had a good relationship with Li Qingyun, he swallowed the words and just treated them as fart.
Whose relationship is so good that they would kill each other as soon as they meet?
Zhou Qiang patted the thin man on the back and said, "We don't know the specific situation. We were just called here today to be a witness. We'll wait for the police to notify us about other matters."
After saying that, he took his men away.
The thin man followed him and looked at his brother again and again along the way.
Zhou Qiang: "...if you have something to say, just say it."
The thin man hesitated: "Brother Zhou, are you possessed by a ghost today?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhou Qiang slapped him.
The thin man shuddered. This was what made sense. Brother Zhou's patience just now was simply ridiculous.
Zhou Qiang was silent for a moment. "Li Liang is dead. Do you think his death...has anything to do with me?"
The thin guy expressed his confusion, "What does this have to do with you, brother?"
"That's true," Zhou Qiang seemed to have figured something out and stopped worrying about it. "It has nothing to do with me in the first place."
Thin Man: "Then what are we going to do?"
"What are you doing, you idiot? You're still planning to do it even though the police are watching you. Stop causing trouble for me."
The thin man was dejected after being scolded and followed Zhou Qiang dejectedly.
On the other side, a cafe on the corner.
Jiang Qing buried her head in drawing on paper, sorting out the relationships between several people.
"Nine years ago, Li Qingyun and Li Liang were both students at Jiangyuan No. 3 Middle School and knew each other well."
"Later, Li Qingyun was arrested and imprisoned for the murder of Jiang Qing. Li Liang introduced him to Zhou Qiang and his gang."
"Li Qingyun arranged to meet Li Liang at the old place through Zhou Qiang, then killed Li Liang. He was subsequently arrested and is now being detained at the police station. No relevant information has been obtained."
"Song Yao said that Li Liang was a good student at No. 3 Middle School with excellent grades, but at that time he liked to hang out with Zhang Chao, and now he's familiar with Zhou Qiang."
Jiang Qing circled the words "Li Liang" and said, "This guy doesn't look like a good person either."
She listed all the clues.
"There is a debt dispute between Li Qingyun and Jiang Qing."
"Li Liang and Li Qingyun are classmates and relatives, and there's a rift between them."
"There was a conflict between Li Liang and Song Yao, so Song Yao transferred to another school."
"There were also gang members like Zhang Chao and Zhou Qiang."
Ahhhh——
Jiang Qing wailed silently, "What's going on here? Why are they intertwined? Why are they all conflicting with each other?"
She picked up the coffee and took two big gulps to cool down her burning brain.
Lin Nanyan took the paper and pen from Jiang Qing, wrote something on the paper, and pushed it over.
"Jiang Jiang, you missed something."
Jiang Qing looked at the newly added clues on the paper. She stared at it for a long time and looked up blankly.
"You mean..."
Lin Nanyan nodded, "That's possible."
"Haha," Jiang Qing waved her hands. "That shouldn't be the case. They are opponents."
Lin Nanyan: "It seems like they are in opposition now, but no one knows what happened at that time."
Jiang Qing suddenly fell silent, and her fingertips made shallow dents on the coffee cup, revealing her inner turmoil.
"What you said... seems to make sense."
"But how could that be?"
Lin Nanyan took out a tissue and handed it over, "Wipe your mouth."
Jiang Qing took it and wiped it obediently and blankly.
Lin Nanyan suddenly said, "Jiang Jiang, go back."
"Go...where to?" Jiang Qing was stunned by the sudden change of topic.
Looking at the calm gaze that Lin Nanyan cast at her, she couldn't help but look around. In the peaceful and quiet cafe, no one noticed this small corner.
Jiang Qing realized something: "You mean now?"
"Yes, now," Lin Nanyan said, "I'm looking at you."
A double entendre.
Jiang Qing stared at him intently, then tilted her head back and finished her coffee, taking a deep breath.
I picked up the backpack next to me and took out the recorder that I had put in the drawer today. When I went out, I couldn't help but run over and stuffed it into the bag.
Lin Nanyan's eyes also fell on this small object.
The whole thing is white, the shell has turned a little yellow over time, and there is a layer of sticker on the surface.
He suddenly remembered that this was the recorder Jiang Qing bought when she was in high school. Later, because she couldn't find it, she hid from Aunt Wang for several days.
Unexpectedly, the prop for time travel was this.
Jiang Qing tapped the button with her fingertips. "Did I press it?"
Lin Nanyan: "Jiang Jiang."
"Hmm?" Jiang Qing looked up in confusion.
He said, "Treat Lin Nanyan as a tool and don't invest too much emotion in him."
The light from the cafe shone down from above, casting a small shadow under Lin Nanyan's brow. Jiang Qing couldn't see the emotion in his eyes.
She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, "I know."
Lin Nanyan's fingers gripped the coffee cup so tightly that they turned pale. His gaze moved from the window behind Jiang Qing to his fingertips.
"rustle..."
The buttons are pressed, the old machine is running, and time is echoing.
Jiang Qing looked at Lin Nanyan, and at that glance she felt that Lin Nanyan seemed to tremble slightly.
It was fleeting, like an illusion on her part.
But soon, Jiang Qing had no time to think. Her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and finally closed uncontrollably.
"Jiang Jiang——"
"Jiang Jiang——"
Someone is calling her, who is it?
Jiang Qing suddenly opened her eyes.
"Jiang Jiang, why don't you leave?"
Jiang Qing's unfocused eyes gradually came into focus. She looked at Lin Nanyan, who was bending over and getting close to her with his face magnified, and suddenly came back to her senses.
By the way, Senior Jiang Qing!
She reached out and slapped the boy in the face, making a loud noise.
She pushed Lin Nanyan away and ran away.
Jiang Qing ran while dialing the phone, but the call was always unanswered.
Lin Nanyan covered his face in a daze, looking at Jiang Qing who suddenly went crazy, and fell into confusion.
"Aren't you going to the bathroom?" he asked.
Jiang Qing didn't listen to what the person behind her said at all. She was extremely anxious and ran out a few steps with her head covered, only to find that she couldn't tell where was where in the dark.
She turned around and asked anxiously, "Lin Nanyan, where is the way back?"
Lin Nanyan pointed a finger towards the southeast.
Jiang Qing wanted to run away, but she looked at her short legs that almost tripped her after just a few steps, and then looked at Lin Nanyan who had followed her without her knowing.
She waved and signaled the boy to squat down.
Although Lin Nanyan didn't understand, he still put his hands on his knees and squatted down.
Before he could react, a pair of hands pressed on his shoulders, and then the girl jumped onto his back nimbly.
Jiang Qing patted his shoulder vigorously, "Hurry up and run, it will be too late if you are late. I have an urgent matter, a matter of life and death."
Without waiting for a reply, she stretched out her hand that was around Lin Nanyan's neck, turned on the flashlight on her cell phone, and illuminated the path under the boy's feet.
In the darkness, a beam of light came on.
Feeling the girl's inner anxiety, Lin Nanyue carried Jiang Qing on his back, stretched out his long legs, and ran forward in big strides.
The boy ran so fast that Jiang Qing had to hold on to Lin Nanyan tightly, with the wind whistling in her ears.
Jiang Qing didn't care about anything else. She was afraid that she would be too late to go back, so she started shouting loudly.
"Jiang Qing!"
"Senior!"
"I'm here to see you! Song Shuang's brother is a policeman. He called me and said he'd come pick her up. I asked her brother to take you home!"
Jiang Qing yelled at the top of her lungs.
She didn't dare to call Li Qingyun's name, for fear that if she provoked him, he would give up and take action prematurely.
She could only try to intimidate the other party by using the name of the police.
The girl had a very loud voice, almost shouting at the top of her lungs until her voice broke. Lin Nanyan was closest to her, and his ears were buzzing from her shouting.
Hearing the meaning of her words and combining it with the previous words, it seems that Senior Sister Jiang Qing will get into trouble tonight.
Enduring the discomfort, Lin Nanyan ran faster.
The two rushed back at lightning speed, shouting all the way.
Song Shuang and his group, who were gathered around the barbecue grill in the distance, suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Song Shuang held up the skewers and said hesitantly, "...I think I heard Jiang Jiang shouting for help."
Ye Meiyan put down the seasoning in her hand and listened attentively.
Chen Heng gazed into the dark distance.
Wang Huaqiang held his breath.
"Jiang Qing!"
The broken shouts arrived at the camp before the figures.
The moment they heard the shouting clearly, everyone in the camp stood up and said, "It's Jiang Qing, she's calling for senior."
Soon, Lin Nanyan and Jiang Qing appeared in front of everyone.
The boy was carrying the girl on his back. Jiang Qing had disheveled hair and was holding a large flashlight in front of Lin Nanyan's eyes. At first glance, the boy's face looked pale.
The two men looked as if they were being chased by ghosts, looking miserable and scary.
Chen Heng: "You are..."
Jiang Qing jumped off Lin Nanyan's back, rushed over, and pushed away the people who were blocking her way.
"Where's Senior Jiang Qing?" she asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is she?"
"Senior..." Chen Heng turned around to look at Jiang Qing's original seat, only to find that no one was there at some point.
