Chapter 46: Teenager’s Elegy 24 I think there is something else hidden here. …
Chapter 24
At lunch, there was a dish of fried mushrooms. Lu Changfeng thought that Mingtang had received the things for a while, so he should ask them if they liked them. If they did, he would buy more before they left.
So he called Mingtang.
Jing Jue watched Lu Changfeng walk aside to make a phone call and looked back several times.
Yue Fanglin teased him: "Why do you look like you're afraid Captain Lu will run off with someone else?"
Jing Jue curled his eyes, said nothing, and no longer looked in the direction of Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng stood at the window, his hand on the window sill, and asked Mingtang: "What are your plans with Shaoyang during the National Day? I have a case here and cannot return to Chuncheng."
Mingtang hesitated for a moment and said, "No plans."
"No plans?" Lu Changfeng felt strange. Now that Mingtang has been promoted, if he is transferred during the National Day, he will definitely be able to find time to rest. How could he not have plans?
He thought about the conversation just now, and after thinking about it, he asked, "What happened between you and Shao Yang?"
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Lu Changfeng's heart tightened. He really guessed it right.
He asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
Mingtang sighed on the other end of the phone, "It's not a big deal. It's National Day. Chuncheng and Shicheng organized a security meeting. In previous years, we didn't participate in such meetings because our level was not high enough. This year, we have to participate. Jiang Qiao has made a lot of contributions in the past two years and has been promoted quickly. We met at the meeting..."
"You really owe Jiang Qiao in your previous life." Lu Changfeng sighed helplessly, "Did you quarrel because of Jiang Qiao?"
Mingtang hummed, "My brother-in-law was there too. He didn't know that Jiang Qiao and I were in a relationship, so he posted the group photo on WeChat Moments, and Shaoyang liked it. I'm usually busy and don't check WeChat Moments very often, so I didn't notice it at all. It was only when my mom messaged me about it two days later that I found out that Shaoyang liked my brother-in-law's WeChat Moments post. He didn't ask me, and bringing it up would make me seem guilty."
Lu Changfeng felt that this matter was difficult just by listening. "The fault lies with you. You knew that he was sensitive, but you concealed the fact that you had met Jiang Qiao. Even if Shao Yang wanted to make a scene, it was understandable."
"I know. I sincerely apologized as soon as I returned to Chuncheng. I didn't want to mention Jiang Qiao too much between him and me, lest he think of the things that happened between me and Jiang Qiao and feel uncomfortable. Maybe my tone was a little hasty, making him feel that in my eyes he was holding on to the past and was narrow-minded, so I mentioned Lingchuan..."
Lu Changfeng suddenly felt a headache, and his tone became a little anxious: "Why mention Lingchuan when there are so many people to mention? Are you crazy? Mentioning Lingchuan is really digging up old scores. The fault is originally yours, and it seems that you are trying to make up for your own mistakes. He and Lingchuan were at most ambiguous before, and no one has exposed it. You and Jiang Qiao have really been dating for five years, who wouldn't be angry."
"I know it's my fault, please stop scolding me. I've been scolded by countless people these days." Mingtang was also in a bad mood, "I can't find where he is now."
Lu Changfeng asked: "Where's the phone location?"
"I think he deliberately didn't want me to find him. He threw his phone on the bed in the bedroom and didn't take it with him at all." Mingtang sighed and said, "I asked all his friends, but no one wanted to tell me. I even asked Uncle Pei, and he said it couldn't be lost, so I should do whatever I need to do."
"He is really angry. When you come back, you should admit your mistakes and never mention Lingchuan again." Lu Changfeng also gave Mingtang a reassurance. "Based on my understanding of him, if he really didn't want to be with you anymore, he would have told you right then and there and parted ways with you. He just hid away and didn't want to talk to you, which meant he left room for you. He would come back when he was angry and missed you."
Mingtang actually knew that he just couldn't see anyone, and this made him suffer in his heart. "We have never had such a quarrel before. I would rather he beat me or scold me."
"He's not the kind of person who would throw a tantrum." Lu Changfeng said, "I understand the torment you feel in your heart because you can't see him. Trust me, he'll come back in a few days when he's calmed down."
Lu Changfeng glanced at Jing Jue, and their eyes met in the air.
Jing Jue didn't understand why Lu Changfeng suddenly looked at him, and he felt inexplicably nervous.
Lu Changfeng comforted Mingtang a few more words, hung up the phone and returned to the dining table to eat.
Yue Fanglin saw that Lu Changfeng was frowning and seemed to be worried, so he asked, "What's wrong? I saw you sighing repeatedly while you were on the phone just now."
Lu Changfeng said: "My friend had a quarrel with his girlfriend, and his girlfriend ran away from home. Now I can't find her. His girlfriend is also a good friend of mine."
Jing Jue immediately understood who Lu Changfeng was talking about, and felt relieved.
"No wonder you sigh so often." Yue Fanglin said, "When two people are in love, it's inevitable that they will quarrel. A little quarrel can make things more pleasant."
Zhou Yu nodded and agreed, "It's impossible not to quarrel."
Yue Fanglin joked: "It seems that you are very experienced."
Zhou Yu shared his experience: "It is true that husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed but make up at the foot of the bed."
Jing Jue said: "I will definitely control my emotions when I fall in love in the future, and quarrels will reduce the time we spend together."
"Don't get scared when you talk about quarrels. People have emotions, they are not set machines without emotions. Adults are different from children. They will leave room for quarrels." Zhou Yu said: "You will understand when you really fall in love. No one falls in love to quarrel, but it is inevitable that different opinions will arise."
"We can seek common ground while reserving differences," Jing Jue said.
Zhou Yu shook his head: "I thought so before I got married. After getting married, facing the trivialities of life, the ways of the world, and the interactions with relatives, different opinions will arise. People can't be as rational as you think and love each other as before for the rest of their lives."
Jing Jue glanced at Lu Changfeng secretly.
Lu Changfeng didn't react much and ate seriously.
Yue Fanglin noticed that Jing Jue seemed to be troubled by what he said, and said to Zhou Yu: "Look, you are almost telling the child about the psychological trauma."
Then he told Jing Jue: "Arguing is not terrible. What's important is that you are willing to be with each other after the quarrel. It's not about winning or losing, but about being able to be together better in the future."
Jing Jue nodded.
No one knows what the future holds.
Lu Changfeng was not very willing to participate in topics like teaching Jing Jue about love or marriage experience. Firstly, he had no experience to impart, and secondly, he did not want to get involved in these matters with Jing Jue and give him the wrong impression.
Lu Changfeng was actually also conflicted about the relationship between him and Jing Jue. At the moment, his feelings for Jing Jue could not really reach the level of love. Can't let go, but can't turn into love.
After dinner, everyone continued to investigate the case. The case became more and more complicated, and there were more and more things to deal with.
According to the results of the investigation conducted by Wang Qi's men, the Ye family had applied for an investigation into the cause of Ye Yingjun's death and reported the matter to the police, but the police investigation found that there was insufficient evidence.
Ye Yingjun was divorcing Ding Wenbo at the time. On the day of the incident, Ye Yingjun had just met with a divorce lawyer.
The reason is that Ding Wenbo cheated on his secretary Luo Xianning, who is Luo Can's sister.
We learned from the Ye family that after Ye Yingjun discovered that Ding Wenbo had cheated on her, she signed a marital property agreement with Ding Wenbo.
After Ye Yingjun's death, the Ye family only got a car, a house, and more than 200,000 yuan in cash, with the total value being only 1.5 million yuan.
Ding Wenbo came up with a proxy holding agreement from somewhere, and all the houses and shares under his name were held on behalf of his sister. His own property totaled only three million.
The Ye family also questioned the amount of the inheritance, but Ding Wenbai's evidence could not find any loopholes. The judge could only distribute half of Ye Yingjun and Ding Wenbai's joint property as Ye Yingjun's inheritance according to their existing assets. Ding Wenbai voluntarily gave up his inheritance rights, and all of it belonged to Ye Yingjun's parents, who gave it to the Ye family in the form of a discount.
It’s not that no one has suspected that Ye Yingjun was killed by someone hired by Ding Wenbo, but without any concrete evidence, they can only presume the crime to be innocent.
Looking back at Ye Yingjun’s death now, it would be impossible to convict Ding Wenbai without actual evidence.
Ye Yingjun was an only child and had no children. After her death, she left behind only her elderly parents.
Ding Wenbo was also linked to a sexual assault case. Qian Jiawen, a private room waitress at the bar under his name, accused him of sexual assault, but Qian Jiawen eventually changed her statement, saying that the two were lovers and that she only called the police and accused him of rape because she was angry at the time of a quarrel.
Everyone unanimously suspected that the girl who accused Ding Wenbo was actually sexually assaulted, but was forced to change her confession because of Ding Wenbo's threats.
When they checked Qian Jiawen's information, they found out that she had committed suicide last year and she suffered from severe depression.
Lu Changfeng said: "This case has led to the discovery of Sun Junwei, Sun Ji'an, Ding Wenbai, Lou Xingning, Yao Lixin, and Luo Can. I think there is something else going on here."
Yue Fanglin had the same idea, "Let's go visit Ye Yingjun and Qian Jiawen's parents and see if we can learn something from them."
Zhou Yu had been silent until now. He said, "This Lingxing International is really weird. I looked up Sun Junwei's history of success and found that at every critical juncture, his opponents almost lost the ability to compete with him."
“It’s quite weird.”
Wang Qi said: "Then your serious crime team will investigate this line, and we will investigate the others. If there are any clues, we will communicate with each other in a timely manner."
"no problem."
After getting Ye Yingjun and Qian Jiawen's home addresses and their parents' contact information, Yue Fanglin said, "How about Zhou Yu and I, and Jing Jue and you, split up and investigate?"
Of course Jing Jue had no objection, he couldn't wait to stick to Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng said: "Why don't you let Zhou Yu follow me, and let Jing Jue follow you."
Jing Jue asked angrily: "Why!"
Lu Changfeng: "You always follow me, so what you learn is not comprehensive. Captain Yue has his own ideas."
Yue Fanglin waved his hand, "It's easy for him to get confused if two people teach him. You are from a serious academic school, and I am a practical person. I am not mocking your armchair theorizing, but you two are from the same school and have received similar education and knowledge. It is definitely easier for him to understand if you teach him than if I teach him. The child also wants to follow you. Besides, you have been teaching him for so long, and he has adapted to your way of solving cases. If you suddenly ask him to follow me, what if he really learns too much? The first one or two years for a criminal police officer to join the profession are very important."
Yue Fanglin pushed Lu Changfeng and pushed him to Jing Jue's side. "Take good care of this disciple. Zhou Yu and I will go investigate Ye Yingjun's affairs. You go investigate Qian Jiawen."
After getting in the car, Zhou Yu expressed his doubts: "Captain Yue, Jing Jue is not much different from you and Captain Lu. He can indeed give him a new way of thinking and make him more comprehensive. Why do you want to force him to Captain Lu?"
Yue Fanglin explained: "You can see that Jing Jue is clinging to Chang Feng. He feels uncomfortable following me and can't calm down. Instead of letting him follow me, it's better to follow his mind. Secondly, Chang Feng has lived with him for so many years and really knows him better. Teaching Jing Jue has advantages that I don't have."
"He is indeed too attached to the Lu team. It is impossible for him to work with the Lu team all his life. He will go wherever the Lu team goes."
Yue Fanglin said, "We'll talk about the future later. There are only four of us in the group. Either follow me or follow Changfeng. Anyway, it won't be you two who go out to investigate the case together. If he wants to follow, let him follow. It will be worth it for the opportunity he earned with his own efforts."
"That's true."
Zhou Yu had no opinion about Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue, and he quite liked Lu Changfeng's style of doing things.
Yue Fanglin was very happy to fulfill Jing Jue's little wish.
