case-in-case

There is an old saying in China that wealth does not last for three generations, and if a wealthy family can survive for three generations, it has some real skills.

It's the same in country Y. The Ernest family of Y has been rich for five generations and is one of the three major families in country Y.The first generation reads food, the second generation reads through it, and the third generation reads articles. The temperament and nobility cultivated by Ernest's fifth generation are not comparable to the nouveau riche or the so-called upstarts.

Lan Keith Ernest, as the heir to the title of this generation, his background, education and family background are really prominent.

The school will not resume classes until next week due to the kidnapping incident, so Lan Kesi stayed at home, leaning leisurely on the recliner in the entertainment room and listening to "Nocturne in G Minor". The piano tune is beautiful, and the rhythm of the notes is fascinating.

"Nocturne in G Minor" slowly came to an end, followed by Liszt's "Paganini Grand Exercise Bell" with extremely gorgeous skills. The surround sound effect made the piano sound more beautiful.

Lan Kesi closed his eyes and listened to the beautiful notes comfortably, only felt that the music was a small universe that encompasses everything, until the housekeeper knocked on the door, he recovered from the intoxication, he picked up the remote control and pressed the stop button , the piano sound stopped abruptly.

The butler had already gently opened the door, stood at the door and said respectfully: "Master, your classmate is calling to find you!" He said and handed the phone to Lan Kaisi with both hands.

Lan Kesi took the mobile phone and saw Jiang Jingtong on the caller ID. He put the mobile phone close to his ear: "Hi, Oriental beauty!"

This frivolous tone caused the blue veins on Jiang Jingtong's forehead to twitch when he called him. Jiang Jingtong resisted the urge to crawl along the phone and slap Lan Keith straight to the point: "I want to ask you for help!"

Lan Kesi, who was holding the mobile phone, smiled. After the kidnapping case, he was taken home, and he hadn’t seen Jiang Jingtong since then. Now Jiang Jingtong wanted to ask him for help. Very lazily said: "Let's listen."

Jiang Jingtong on the phone told what happened last night.

Lan Kesi was a little confused when he heard this: "Someone killed Rena Shimizu, and you suspect that the murderer who killed Rena Shimizu and Ai Pingping is the same murderer, so just respond to the police, how can I help?"

Jiang Jingtong said directly: "Can you call out the police's autopsy report and investigation file on the case of Ai Pingping and Lianai?"

Lan Kesi understood at once——Jiang Jingtong wanted to use his family's influence to access the police's investigation materials, but: "According to what you said, Shimizu Renai is Lang Fei's girlfriend, but you came to ask me for help? "

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and then came Jiang Jingtong's answer: "Lang Fei is my friend, I hope you can also help us from the standpoint of a friend!"

The corner of Lan Kesi's mouth slightly raised. He recalled that after seeing Jiang Jingtong's talent show in the campus forum, he was very interested in Jiang Jingtong, an oriental beauty. He asked Jiang Jingtong several times, but was rejected by Jiang Jingtong.Because of Lan Kesi's prominent background, many people have fawned on him since he was a child. Even if those people don't like him, they will pay him three points because of the power of the Ernest family. The person who took the initiative to approach him for the first time but was flatly rejected, now Jiang Jingtong took the initiative to contact him for Lang Fei, and specifically stated that he was a friend - interesting.

Lan Keith narrowed his eyes slightly: "If I help you, will I be your friend?"

Jiang Jingtong's tone was firm: "If you are a friend, you will help!"

The smile on the corner of Lan Kesi's mouth deepened: "Then you remember, I'm helping you, not Lang Fei!"

Jiang Jingtong: "..."

Lan Kesi: "Wait for my news!"

-

The three friends watched Jiang Jingtong put down his phone.

Lang Fei: "Will Lan Keith help?"

Ouyang Le: "What did Lan Kesi say?

Ren: "How can Lan Keith agree to help?"

The three questions have the same meaning, but reflect the different personalities of the questioners. Jiang Jingtong glanced at Ren, and said: "Lan Kesi agreed to help, and said to wait for his news!"

The three little friends relaxed. They were studying in country Y, and their respective family powers were not enough to mobilize the resources of country Y, so they could only turn to Lan Kesi, who had local power in country Y.

Hearing that Lan Kesi agreed, Lang Fei relaxed a little. After a night of tossing and turning, he calmed down a lot. The first thing he thought of was to get the autopsy report to find out the cause of Shimizu Reina's death, although last night it seemed that Renai was dead Due to mechanical suffocation, a more accurate conclusion can be drawn from the autopsy report. Only by knowing how Reina died can the murderer be found.

Seeing that Lang Fei had regained his composure, the three friends even asked Jiang Jingtong to rescue Lan Kesi with a clear mind, so they knew that he had recovered, so they gathered around to discuss carefully the details that they hadn't dared to ask yesterday.

Jiang Jingtong spoke first, and he asked Lang Fei: "Yesterday we separated at the track and field. Ren and I went back to the dormitory. At that time, Liannai was waiting for you at the flower bed. Where did you go after that?"

Lang Fei: "Over there on the boulevard by the lake!"

The lake Lang Fei mentioned is an artificial lake in the school. There is a tree-lined avenue and some seats beside the lake. Some students like to read or listen to music there, or are in a daze. Some literature students will go to write poems and Scripts; there are even some science and engineering students running over there to calculate problems-it may be easier to inspire people when facing the water, and it is also a dating spot for couples.

Jiang Jingtong: "When did you separate?"

Lang Fei: "It's less than 5 o'clock, I can't remember the exact time!"

Jiang Jingtong: "Where is it?"

Lang Fei: "By the flower bed in front of Building No. 3 of the girls' dormitory."

Jiang Jingtong: "What building does Lianna live in?"

Lang Fei: "No. 1."

Jiang Jingtong: "Why didn't you send her to Building 1?"

Lang Fei lowered his eyes—when we parted yesterday, Lianna kissed him lightly on the cheek—he was much taller than Lianna, and Lianna had to raise his feet, he had to bend down, so that Lianna could kiss his cheek... …

Lang Fei raised his head again and his eyes were clear: "Building No. 1 is the innermost, Building No. 3 is outside. Lianai kissed me in Building No. 3 and then... ran away shyly."

Jiang Jingtong was silent. He felt that he was cruel. Every question he asked would deepen Lang Fei's memory of Shimizu Reina. The deeper the memory, the greater the harm to Lang Fei. But if you want to find out who killed Renai, you have to Don't ask -- it's better than Lang Fei thinking about it and becoming a knot in his heart.

After making up his mind, Jiang Jingtong continued to ask: "When you two separated, did Lianna feel anything different?"

Lang Fei thought about it carefully before shaking his head: "No, she looks very happy."

Jiang Jingtong stopped asking questions and looked at the others, as if to say, do you have any questions?

Ren thought for a while and asked Lang Fei: "When did you and Lianna agree to have dinner together?"

Lang Fei thought for a while: "It's when we walk from the lake to the girls' dormitory."

It made sense, and Ryan was fine.

Lang Fei looked at Ouyang Le, meaning do you have any questions?

Ouyang Le shook his head, the two friends he wanted to ask had already done so.

As a result, the four friends began to fall silent.

After a while, Jiang Jingtong tried to analyze: "Suppose Lianai and Lang Fei returned to No. 1 girls' dormitory after they separated..."

Lang Fei interrupted him directly: "Don't assume, I watched Lianna enter the dormitory building."

Jiang Jingtong: "When did you see it?"

Lang Fei: "It's after Liannai ran away."

OK, Jiang Jingtong nodded to indicate that he understood, he thought for a while, took out a piece of note paper from the table and began to draw and analyze: "After Lianai and Lang Fei separated, they returned to No. 1 dormitory building. No. 1 female dormitory is located in the campus On the westernmost side, the place where Liannai was found is by the river, which is southwest of the school. The distance is not far. From No. 1 girls' dormitory building to the riverside, you need to pass through the gymnasium building. Therefore, the place where Lianai was killed is most likely within this distance As he spoke, Jiang Jingtong held up the paper he had drawn on the route from No. 1 dormitory to the river, and pointed out the distance.

Ren recalled for a while and said: "The places where the school is monitored are the front school gate, the three teaching buildings, the former activity center, the library, the canteen and the supermarket, and the main entrances of the boys' and girls' dormitories. Because of the kidnapping and the explosion, The school is closed, and there are not many students in the school. There is a small road over there, which can directly enter the stadium building, will Lianna go to the stadium building?"

Jiang Jingtong thought for a while and said: "I don't know, we are thinking about what we may have overlooked here, why don't we walk this section of the road and see, it is very likely that Liannai's accident happened within this distance."

Lang Fei agreed, and Ouyang Le and Renn did not object, so a few friends went to check the distance from the girls' dormitory to the river.

Boys in the girls' dormitory are not allowed to mix in, so the four friends stood in the girls' dormitory downstairs and watched the building sighing.

Jiang Jingtong deduced: "If Liannai was killed in the girls' dormitory, the dormitory should be locked down, but now—" There are still girls coming in and out of the building occasionally, and there is nothing unusual, then, "It seems that the students in the building are still living normally. Isn’t the dormitory the scene of the crime?”

The friends looked at the girls' dormitory building and were not sure.

In view of the fact that no one can enter the female dormitory, the four friends started to walk towards the river from No. 1 female dormitory building. The sidewalk along the road is surrounded by the world-famous street tree - "French sycamore", and Chinese parks and sidewalks are often common to.However, that is misinformation.In fact, this kind of tree is a kind of "plane tree", and the "French plane tree" that Chinese people are used to calling is just a kind of plane tree.

There are 8 species in the genus Platanus, native to North America, Mexico, the Mediterranean and India.There are 3 species introduced into China and planted.The fruits of the infructescence stalk of Platanus, some have 1 fruit ball, some have 2 fruit balls, and some have more than 3 fruit balls, so the names are different, and they are called one-ball Platanus, two-ball Platanus and three-ball a different species.

It is said that there used to be more than 20 plane trees in Nanjing, China. A famous host (Meng Fei) once said: "In other places, the plane tree is just a tree species; in Nanjing, the plane tree is the most important symbol and symbol of the city. The symbol is the life memory shared by several generations of Nanjing people, and it is a piece of Chinese history that should be respected, and which street tree in a Chinese city has witnessed the Feng’an Grand Ceremony, the fall of the capital, the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, reform and opening up, etc. in one breath.”

The plane tree is even regarded as Nanjing's business card.

Why is the sycamore called "French sycamore"? It is because the leaves of this tree are very similar to the sycamore. Using one-ball sycamore (also called American sycamore) and three-ball sycamore (also called French sycamore) as parents, they crossed into two-ball sycamore, named "English sycamore".Because it is a hybrid, there is no origin.After being widely cultivated in Europe, the French brought it to Shanghai and planted it on Xiafei Road (in the area of ​​Huaihai Middle Road today) as a street tree.People call it "French plane tree", and people say what they say, and regard it as a plane tree.

There are two-ball sycamores on the sidewalks of C University.

Autumn has just entered, the leaves have not yet turned yellow, and they are still lush, but because this road is the westernmost road of the school, and there is a wall outside, there are not many people walking.

The four friends started from the female dormitory building No. 1. It took about six to seven minutes to arrive at the gymnasium building, and then there was the river flowing through the campus.

The friends stood on the side wings of the stadium building and looked around. The corridors here are winding and secluded, and few students pass by. Even in the daytime, it looks gloomy because of the mottled tree shadows.

Ouyang Le looked around and asked Lang Fei: "Will Lianai come to this place?"

Lang Fei looked around and couldn't confirm whether Lianai had been here.

Ren suddenly noticed something and walked towards a dense bush. The friends followed, not knowing why.

Not far behind, I saw Ren standing in front of a scorched trace covered by bushes, and squatted down to check the trace.

The other friends also followed carefully.

Ren twirled the ashes in his hands and looked at them carefully.

Lang Fei asked: "It's all ashes, what can we see?"

Ren looked up at him: "The ash is not wet. London is foggy. If it was burned last night after a night of dew or fog, it should be wet, but now the ash is dry."

Lang Fei looked at Ren: "What do you want to say?"

Jiang Jingtong really couldn't stand it anymore. Ren still studied anthropology, and he was more sensitive than Lang Fei, who studied law. He simply said for Ren: "What Ren wants to say is that when Liannai was found, she had no clothes on her body. , Could it be the ashes of the murderer who burned her clothes, but the fire is so eye-catching at night, if it is daytime, even if someone sees it, they will think it is the cleaners burning fallen leaves or dead branches!"

Ren praised Jiang Jingtong's sharpness. He twirled the ashes in his hand, touched the scorched ground and speculated: "This place is not completely cool yet. If the murderer burned it, then when he left Not for long."

When the Three Musketeers of China heard this, they all looked around: The corridor is deep, and there are many bushes on both sides of the road. Because this is the westernmost side of the school, it is inaccessible, and there are no surveillance cameras. It is indeed suitable for the murderer to burn evidence. So the murderer just came?

The author has something to say: The description about the French plane tree comes from Baidu Encyclopedia. This description is added to make the readers have a foreign feeling-who let the little fans set the background of the story in England!
