Chapter 77 Very Childlike

Qi Nian came back from outside and was eating dinner when he heard Ning Min say, "You should be careful when you go out recently."

Qi Nian took a sip of the soup doubtfully and looked at Ning Min.

Ning Min saw his reaction and knew that he hadn't heard it yet: "Recently, there have been several robberies in Beijing. In one case, the victim was stabbed by the robber, but the robber has not been caught yet. It sounds scary. It's better to go out as little as possible and wait until the police catch the person."

Chu Zhen, who was standing by, laughed when he heard this, and then Ning Min glared at him: "I'm talking about something so serious, why are you laughing?"

Chu Zhen looked embarrassed, and whispered to Ning Min, covering his mouth: "The children are here, give them some face."

Ning Min glared at him and said nothing more.

Chu Zhen couldn't help but say something that middle-aged men like to say. He coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing, actually. I just don't believe it. What would that robber dare to do in broad daylight? If he dares to come, I will definitely subdue him in a few moves!"

Others: “…”

Qi Nian tried to save Chu Zhen's face: "Uncle, you are very powerful, but don't take the police officer's job."

Don't mention it, Chu Zhen really believed everything others said, and even became humble, waving his hands and saying: "No, no, I'm old, and my legs are not as flexible as when I was young."

Ning Min couldn't bear to listen any longer and gave him a look: "That's enough. Look, you've blown the cow up into the sky."

Ning Min glanced at a few people before saying, "I'm relieved that he can leave in a short time. I guess the robbers will have to avoid him. As for the two of you, you'd better stay out of the spotlight."

Qi Nian and Chu Zhen: "..."

Both of them went to see Chu Rongshi with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Chu Rongshi looked at them calmly: "What's wrong?"

Qi Nian recalled Chu Rongshi's muscles and lowered his head silently. Ahem, I didn't look at it.

Chu Zhen thought of something and lowered his head. Never mind, he was actually not that bad, just older.

Before going to sleep, Qi Nian was lying on the bed and received the same complaints from Liu Yu.

[Liu Yu]: Ah! My mom also told me to go out less recently.

[Liu Yu]: But it is indeed scary. I'd better stay at home for the time being.

【Liu Yu】: I hope the person can be caught soon.

【Liu Yu】：Little cat praying.jpg

Qi Nian comforted her a few words, but as a person who didn't like going out much, although his social phobia has improved a little now, it doesn't matter to him whether he goes out or not, and Qi Nian doesn't think it's a big deal.

But obviously, as Chu Zhen goes out fishing every day, he would be very upset if he was not allowed to go out.

Early in the morning, Qi Nian yawned as he went downstairs. He didn't see Chu Zhen and felt a little strange, so he asked Ning Min, who was watching TV bored, "Auntie, where is my uncle? Is he out?"

"No, I'm fishing in the back garden." Ning Min said speechlessly.

Back garden? Fishing?

Qi Nian remembered that his backyard seemed to be just a pond, right? It was full of koi fish.

This behavior was so bizarre that Qi Nian, full of curiosity, decided to go and take a look.

When I went to the back garden, I saw Chu Zhen sitting by the pond, wrapped up like a bear.

Qi Nian walked over in amazement and asked concernedly, "Uncle, aren't you cold?"

"Cold? I feel very hot inside right now." Chu Zhen said while sniffing his nose.

Everyone thought: "..."

He went to the pond and saw those plump koi swimming slowly. He didn't know how they were fed, but they were all in great shape and looked carefree.

Since the koi were fed delicious food every day and never went hungry, they had no interest in the food on Chu Zhen's hook.

One by one, they swam slowly past Chu Zhen's fishing hook. Qi Nian even felt in a trance that these fish were looking at Chu Zhen with contempt.

Of course, this must be his illusion.

But in the end, Chu Zhen didn't catch any fish, but caught a cold, and then was scolded by Ning Min.

Qi Nian: Well, at least my uncle is very childish.

——

It was fine at first, but I got a little bored after staying at home for a few days.

Also, I don’t know what’s wrong with the celebrities in the entertainment industry lately, they have been particularly well behaved, and everything on Weibo is so quiet and boring.

Oh, but Chu Tianheng and Song Xiaoming's CP fans are quite active, after all, the variety show recorded by these two has started to air. But every time Qi Nian sees these contents, he will quickly skip them.

Humph, don’t give them any heat!

Just when Qi Nian was chatting with Zhou Jing boredly, Cheng Yelei suddenly brought something shocking.

The incident between Ji Xiwei and his Uncle Deng was discovered by Ji Xiwei's family!

Qi Nian was originally leaning back in his chair in boredom, but upon hearing this, he immediately sat up straight and asked in shock, "Oh my god, is this true? How did his family know about this? You didn't tell them, did you?"

Cheng Yelei immediately said that he was innocent and tried his best to defend himself: "How could I be such a person who secretly tells tales? Although I do want to say something, it would offend so many people if I tell others about it."

Don't think that Ji Xiwei's family will thank him for the reminder. That won't happen. Don't forget, this is a wealthy family that cares very much about their reputation!

Maybe he won't get any thanks, and Ji Xiwei's family might even find ways to get his father to give him a beating!

"Okay, that makes sense. How did you know that?" Qi Nian was successfully convinced by him and began to focus on the main point.

"Haha, you asked the right person." Cheng Yelei knew that Qi Nian would like to hear these things, so he specifically asked about them.

Speaking of which, this incident was quite explosive.

As for Uncle Deng, as I mentioned before, he has a wife. Not only does he have a wife, he also has a son.

Anyway, we learned through various channels that Uncle Deng didn't like men at first. Oh, he also told Ji Xiwei that he actually turned her gay. As to whether this is true or not, that depends on one's opinion.

In short, because of Uncle Deng’s “deep affection”, and Uncle Deng’s gentleness and thoughtfulness, and although he is more than 20 years older than Ji Xiwei and is almost 50 years old, he has taken good care of himself.

Speaking of this, Cheng Yelei also sent Qi Nian a photo of "Uncle Deng" that he got from somewhere.

I have to say that Uncle Deng is really well maintained. Although you can tell that he is not young anymore, he is still a handsome uncle.

In short, Ji Xiwei was defeated.

The affair between the two was kept strictly secret and no one discovered it. Uncle Deng was also very careful, but he always made mistakes in front of his son.

So, one day, Uncle Deng's wife saw her son taking out a box of condoms from somewhere. The child didn't know anything and thought they were balloons and wanted to blow them up for fun.

At this time, Uncle Deng's wife didn't have too many doubts. After all, she would use these with Uncle Deng, so it was not strange to have them at home.

She just put the things away awkwardly, intending to ask Uncle Deng to tidy up their mess.

As a result, she heard her son say again: "Dad and a brother are hugging each other!"

Uncle Deng's wife was stunned for a moment and asked her son, "What brother?"

The son said innocently: "It's...Uncle Ji's brother~"

She originally thought that her husband was just holding a child, and her face immediately turned unhappy. She did not show anything in front of her son at that time.

But that night, she sent her son back to his parents' place, and then went to Ji's house to make trouble.

At first, the Ji family thought it was some misunderstanding. After all, the two families had always had a good relationship because of the relationship between Ji Xiwei's father and Uncle Deng.

As a result, Ji Xiwei was the first to lose his temper and made some explosive remarks, saying that he and Uncle Deng were truly in love.

Uncle Deng's wife was not the most angry. Ji Xiwei's father was almost mad at his son and beat Ji Xiwei. Finally, everyone in the family couldn't stand it anymore and persuaded him for a long time before he stopped.

Not only did he beat Ji Xiwei, but the other party was also shocked when he thought that he had trusted his good brother and asked him to take care of his son, but he turned out to be "taking care" of him like this!

No matter who is in charge of this matter, it will probably explode.

Ji Xiwei's father had a bad temper, so he immediately called Uncle Deng to come over. Uncle Deng was out and didn't know what was going on, so he came happily when his friend invited him.

As a result, what was waiting for him was Ji Xiwei's father with red eyes, and the other party was holding a kitchen knife that he got from somewhere.

Uncle Deng's expression changed immediately, and he quickly stepped back a few steps, swallowed his saliva and said, "Old Ji, don't be impulsive, is there any misunderstanding?"

"How dare you say that!" Ji Xiwei's father immediately rushed forward with a kitchen knife, looking like he wanted to chop Uncle Deng into pieces.

It seemed that he was really angry and at this moment he really wanted to chop the other person to pieces.

But of course it was impossible to really chop it off, and the people around tried to stop it for a long time before finally stopping the farce.

But after encountering such a thing, the Deng family and the Ji family would definitely not be able to continue as before. The two good brothers who had been on good terms for more than ten years broke up completely.

Uh...if they haven't broken up yet, that's pretty impressive.

Cheng Yelei said this and bared his teeth: "Don't tell me, I didn't know before that Ji Xiwei is such a romantic guy."

Cheng Yelei: "You don't know, wasn't he beaten by his father so hard that he couldn't get out of bed? And he found a chance to call me and asked me if I had told his father about it. No, do I look like someone who likes to tell tales so much?"

He was very depressed about this.

"After all, we should be the only ones who knew it before." Qi Nian comforted him and touched his nose guiltily. After all, he had just asked the same question.

Fortunately, Cheng Yelei didn't mind: "That's right."

"But let me tell you, Ji Xiwei is really stupid. He actually believed the words of a middle-aged man named Deng who is almost 50 years old!" Cheng Yelei didn't know what to say. Even so, Ji Xiwei had the nerve to call him stupid!

When Qi Nian heard this, he realized there might be something else he didn't know, so he immediately asked, "So, did that Deng guy cheat him?"

"Smart!" Cheng Yelei finished his exaggeration and said, "Yes, according to gossip, the girl surnamed Deng had been involved with several little boys before, the youngest of whom was only eighteen or nineteen years old!"

Qi Nian's eyes widened: "Oh my god, what a beast! But does his wife know about this? She probably doesn't know, right?"

"His wife also knows about it. Apparently this Deng guy has done this more than once." Cheng Yelei is no longer surprised by such things.

Qi Nian didn't quite understand: "Then you don't want to get a divorce?"

Cheng Yelei: "Well, I've seen a lot of marriages of convenience, but the one between Mr. Deng and his wife shouldn't be a marriage of convenience, otherwise his wife wouldn't be so angry if she knew about it. Well, I don't know what the situation is, but at least they are not divorced."

Although some sober women will choose to divorce when faced with such a situation, there are also those who would rather endure it than divorce.

Moreover, this is not the first or second time that the surname Deng has done this, which makes people speechless.

——

"Hahaha, that's great!" In the afternoon, Qi Nian was planning to find some books to read when he heard Chu Zhen suddenly burst into laughter.

Qi Nian looked at him with a worried look: "Uncle? Are you okay?"

Maybe you've gone crazy after not going out for a few days?

It’s not like I haven’t been out for a few days, I just haven’t been to anywhere far away. I’ve been hanging around nearby these days.

But the place he often went to fish was quite far from home. Not fishing for a few days was a huge torture for Chu Zhen, a fisherman.

Therefore, Qi Nian's worries are not unreasonable.

Chu Zhen didn't notice Qi Nian's deeper meaning, he just laughed and waved his hands: "I'm fine now."

Everyone thought: “?”

Chu Zhen handed him his phone and asked, "Didn't you see the news?"

Qi Nian looked at it curiously and found that it was a news report that the suspect in the previous serial robbery case had been arrested.

It is said that the criminal who committed the serial robberies would always wear a black down jacket, jeans and a pair of sneakers.

This person wears the same clothes every time, and based on his body shape, you can tell that it is indeed the same person.

And just last night, this man robbed another victim, but because the police were prepared, this time the robber was caught on the spot.

At that time, the other party was wearing the same clothes as before.

Attached to this news was a photo of the robber being taken away.

"I didn't expect it to be so efficient." Qi Nian sighed.

Chu Zhen was in a very good mood now, and he smiled and gave a thumbs up: "This is the police in our Beijing city!"

"I won't tell you anymore. My old friends have been urging me for several days. I'm going fishing first." Chu Zhen said with a smile.

Then he quickly grabbed his equipment and went out.

Ning Min watched him leave, speechless: "I go fishing every day, but I never come back with any fish."

Chu Zhenmin was quick to notice the other party's ridicule and immediately defended himself: "Who said that? Didn't I bring one back last time?"

Ning Min laughed: "Don't think I don't know that you went to the market to buy it."

Chu Zhen touched his nose awkwardly, and asked, "How did you know that?" He will pay attention next time.

Ning Min: “Think about it yourself!”

Chu Zhen left with doubt in his life.

After Qi Nian returned to the room, he did not read the book first, but found the news that Chu Zhen had just shown him and read it for a while.

It was a bit strange, what was going on? He felt that this robber was too easy to catch, right?

Moreover, judging from the fact that the robber had attacked many times before and had never been caught, that robber must be quite smart.

Doesn't the other party know that he is in the limelight recently? How dare he show up so soon?

Or is it because the other party is too arrogant and doesn't think he will be caught? This is indeed possible.

Moreover, the police had already made arrangements and were waiting for the other party to take the bait. In this case, it makes sense that the other party was caught so easily.

Qi Nian shook his head, stopped thinking about other things, and started reading.

——

Now that the robber had been caught, it was not so worrying to go out. Qi Nian had made an appointment with Chu Qian some time ago to have dinner together, so it was a good opportunity for them to go there the next day.

The two of them also had hot pot this time. Qi Nian felt that winter was simply the best season for eating hot pot. Except that it was easy to get smelly, there was no disadvantage.

After not seeing each other for a while, Chu Qian tied her hair into a neat high ponytail this time. While eating hot pot, she complained to Qi Nian: "Winter is really annoying. There is too much static electricity. My hair sticks to my clothes and flies around. It's so annoying. I can only tie my hair up. Let me tell you, every time I get up in the morning and comb my hair, I want to shave my head."

Qi Nian opened his mouth and said, "Calm down and don't be impulsive."

"Hahaha, that's what I was thinking. I'm not suitable for a shaved head." Chu Qian said, gesturing to Qi Nian: "The back of my head is too flat, it won't look good if I shave my head."

As she spoke, she glanced at the back of Qi Nian's head and said, "Don't tell me, I think the back of your head is perfect and very suitable for shaving."

Qi Nian immediately covered her curly hair and said, "Forget it. I don't want to freeze my scalp."

"That's true." Chu Qian agreed.

"What a coincidence! Fortunately, you asked me out today. If it was a day later, I would be busy." Chu Qian said.

Qi Nian: "What kind of investigation do you want to do?"

"Well, it's the big robbery case that happened before, you know? That's it." Chu Qian thought that there was nothing to keep secret, so she didn't hide it from him.

After all, you can find a lot of reports about this incident just by searching on the Internet.

"Ah? But hasn't the robber been caught?" Qi Nian was very confused when he heard this.

Chu Qian shook her head: "I did catch him, but don't you think there's something wrong with it?"

This was a very pointed question. After all, Qi Nian had doubted it before: "Was it too easy to catch him? And the robber seemed to have become stupid all of a sudden."

"It's more than that." Chu Qian was also a little speechless and pointed to her head: "You know what? The one who was arrested... there is something wrong here."

"Ah?" Qi Nian's eyes widened: "This must be the wrong one, right?"

Chu Qian: "Most people do think so, but when he was caught, he was indeed robbing someone else and was wearing the same clothes as the previous robbers. So, without substantive evidence, just the fact that he has a problem with his head is not enough to prove his innocence."

Chu Qian added, "Hey, his family somehow found our newspaper office and said their son is definitely innocent. Since there are doubts about this matter, we have to investigate it no matter what."

Qi Nian didn't expect that there would be such a big oolong, so the robber is probably still at large?

"However, I think the robber is probably trying to make the police admit their mistake, so he probably won't show up for a while." Chu Qian said this, but she wasn't very happy.

Although it sounds like the people nearby are indeed safe for the time being, it would be very difficult to investigate this matter if the other party does not show up. She recently decided to visit several victims of the robbery to see if she could find out anything.

Moreover, having said that, temporary peace is not real peace. If innocent people are arrested and the real criminals are still at large, that would be truly heartbreaking.

"Come on, Sister Jiang, you will definitely be able to find out the truth." Qi Nian said seriously.

Chu Yan smiled when she heard this and said, "I'll borrow your good words."

Now the police station is a little suspicious about the too-smooth arrest and is also trying to find out the truth.

But the person who was arrested was a fool. Although this would make people doubt the result of this arrest, it also has a huge disadvantage. The other party has no way to explain clearly what happened and why he would steal other people's things.

"It's impossible. My son would never do such a thing." The fool's mother said with tears in her eyes, "Although this child has been stupid since he was young, he has a very kind personality. Even children may bully him. How could he possibly steal other people's things?"

According to the mother, the police went to interview the victim of the incident where the fool was arrested. This time, the victim tried to recall: "At that time, I thought I might have met the robber in the news. I was really scared. But now I think about it, he didn't really want to steal my things. It seemed like... he was playing with me."

The policemen looked at each other, made a rough judgment in their hearts, and went to visit the fool's home.

It is indeed as the fool's mother said, although the fool is stupid, he has a kind character. A child can bully him, so how could he do something like robbery?

So the police found several victims who had actually been robbed and questioned them.

According to the police station's identification procedures, identification requires the presence of seven or more people, so the police asked several people to work with the idiot to accept identification from several victims.

Chu Qian was also present because she was a reporter sent by the official media.

She was not optimistic about this identification. After all, the criminal had worn a black hood several times before, making it impossible to recognize him.

Moreover, before this, she had visited several victims, and they all said that they didn't know what the criminal looked like.

But since the police arranged it this way, they must have their reasons. No matter what, at least the idiot can be ruled out as a suspect, right?

This fool, who has the IQ of a few years old, has been away from his parents for such a long time and is now like a frightened bird.

When it came time to identify the suspects, several victims looked at the people in front of them with blank eyes.

Just when they thought they were going to get nothing, a woman suddenly raised her hand and pointed at the idiot in the middle: "It's him. I vaguely remember it, it's him."

Several victims were originally hesitant, but after hearing what the woman said, they were influenced by her and pointed at the fool.

Chu Qian frowned. The policemen beside her looked at each other and asked the woman, "Are you sure it was him?"

The woman tightened her hands at her side and nodded nervously, "Sure, he sounds familiar, and his voice... sounds a bit similar."

——

"Wait." Chu Qian looked at the woman leaving the police station and quickly stopped her: "Hello, I'm a reporter from Qunzhong.com. Can I take up a moment of your time to ask you a few questions?"

The woman looked at Chu Qian with a vigilant expression: "I don't care what kind of reporter you are, you are not a police officer. I am afraid of mentioning the robber now, you...don't ask me!"

The woman said this and turned away. Chu Qian frowned and looked at her back. What was she afraid of? How could she be afraid at all?

Of course this matter can be investigated slowly, but if we slow down, what will happen to that fool?

The other party was locked up and was obviously in a bad state, like a frightened child. Chu Qian was afraid that she would provoke him into trouble again. Originally, the idiot could be ruled out as a suspect, but because of the woman's identification, the matter came to a stalemate. Of course, she believed that the police would not wrongly accuse any good person, but could the other party really wait for a fair result?

After all, investigation takes time, and I believe the police also saw that there was something wrong with this woman. But she was not a criminal, nor had she done anything wrong. She was even a victim, so there was no reason to interrogate her.

Chu Qian's mind flashed back to the fool's gray-haired parents. She was hesitant, not knowing whether to look for Qi Nian.
