"Why did you choose to drop out of school during your senior year?" Xu Lang asked, staring into Chen Zhen's eyes.
They were a pair of eyes that looked extremely clear, as if they could see the whole thing at a glance. In Chen Zhen's eyes, Xu Lang couldn't see any nervousness or evasion.
"After graduating from college, you have to enter the society and start looking for a job. Instead of wasting time in school, it is better to start a job and start a business earlier. What do you think, Officer Xu?"
When Xu Lang stared into Chen Zhen's eyes, Chen Zhen also stared into Xu Lang's eyes.
"After graduating from college, wouldn't it be easier to find a job with a diploma? Moreover, according to our understanding, you will be recommended to graduate school after graduating from college. Why not seize such a good opportunity?" Xu Lang added
asked.
"Officer Xu, don't you think about it, in today's society, how many college students graduate every year, and how many companies are recruiting? A college student who has graduated from a university has to work as a junior high school graduate after graduation.
The job may not be as good as theirs, and the salary may not be as high as theirs, so what’s the point of going to college?”
Chen Zhen paused for a moment before continuing: "As for what you said about recommending postgraduate students, it is indeed such a thing. My teacher once talked to me about it."
"Since you know, why do you choose to drop out of school?"
"Actually, the reason is very simple. It's not as complicated as you think. I have no money."
"No money?"
Xu Lang frowned and looked at Chen Zhen with some confusion.
"Officer Xu should have been to my hometown, right?" Chen Zhen looked at Xu Lang and asked with a smile.
"How do you know I've been to Chenjiahe?" Xu Lang asked.
"It's very simple. Chen Qiumin died. It has been so long since the incident and your police did not announce the investigation results. So, his death must not have been accidental. Since it was not an accidental death, then he must have killed him. After the murder, your police
Aren’t we going to investigate the victim’s family background and social relationships immediately? I think you will definitely go to Chenjiahe to investigate. I don’t know if what I said is right.”
After listening to Chen Zhen's analysis and explanation, Xu Lang frowned again. This guy seemed to have a very good understanding of the police's case handling procedures, and his speech was impeccable. He was very difficult to deal with.
As if he knew what Xu Lang was thinking, Chen Zhen explained again: "Of course, I saw these in movies and TV shows. I don't know if they are true. However, looking at Officer Xu's expression, I guessed it was not the case.
wrong."
If meeting Chen Zhen at Changkuai Transportation Company was an accident, now, the conversation between Xu Lang and Chen Zhen is like a tug-of-war. Whoever has the initiative may win, and whoever has more trump cards will win.
The chance is much greater. Now, facing the questions raised by Xu Lang one after another, Chen Zhen answered them with ease. He slowly took the initiative, which made Xu Lang feel very passive.
"Tell me, what does your dropping out of school have to do with lack of money?" Xu Lang asked.
"My hometown, Chenjiahe, is a small village surrounded by mountains, with a population of more than a thousand people. We have no other source of income except digging for food in the fields. Since Officer Xu has been to our village, he must know that we
Most of the people in the village are illiterate, and many of them have never been to other places in their lives. I am the only college student in our village who has been admitted to university. Being admitted to university is something to be proud of. However, in
Behind pride, money is needed. My grandfather passed away early. My parents worked in other places all year round. I grew up with my grandma. Later, my parents were injured while working and could not continue to stay.
They worked in the city and had no choice but to return to the countryside. All the savings they had accumulated over the years were used to support my education. When I was a freshman in college, my family had no money." Chen Zhen explained slowly.
"In this case, you should study hard. After graduating from college, even if you don't continue your graduate studies, it's not too late to get your diploma." Xu Lang said.
Hearing what Xu Lang said, Chen Zhen smiled, looked at Xu Lang, and asked a question.
"Officer Xu, you should be from the city, right?"
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, then thought of something. He squinted at Chen Zhen and said, "What do you want to say?"
Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "I don't mean anything else. City people like you have gone to the best schools since childhood. Even if the schools you go to are not the best schools, at least your teachers are professional.
, the lectures are in Mandarin, and when you go to school, you don’t have to bring your own bench to school to listen to the lecture, and you don’t have to bring your own food to school, right? As for us, every penny we use is provided by our parents and relatives.
What I saved from my teeth. Once, my biggest dream was to go to college, get out of that poor mountain village, and see the outside world. However, when I got to college, I discovered that, in fact, no matter how hard I worked,
The results are very sad.”
Speaking of this, Chen Zhen no longer looked at Xu Lang, but looked away, and said slowly: "When I was writing hard, those students who were admitted to college like me, what were they doing? What were they doing?
Playing, sleeping, and falling in love. When I had to go out to find part-time jobs in order to pay for tuition, their pocket money was more than my annual tuition. At that time, I was thinking, the same
University, why is my destiny different from others? What’s the point of going to this university? Instead of wasting time and youth in school, it’s better to drop out of school early and enter the society. Although diplomas are important, diplomas are also important.
It's very important, but is it really that important? It doesn't seem to be right? Am I right? Officer Xu."
After hearing this, Xu Lang was silent.
Indeed, if Chen Zhen is really because his family is poor and has no money to continue to support his education, dropping out of school seems to be his only option. However, Xu Lang does not think so. According to Luo Jiayan's previous investigation at S University, Chen Zhen
During college, he received full scholarships many times
, this money is enough for him to pay for his tuition. In other words, Chen Zhen is studying for free through his own efforts. He only needs to pay other expenses besides tuition. In this way, no matter how difficult Chen Zhen's family is, this
It's still worth the money.
Looking at Xu Lang's thoughtful look, Chen Zhen continued: "Of course, I dropped out of school not just because I had no money to continue studying."
"Oh, what other reasons?" Xu Lang asked.
"My ideal university should be full of books, just like in high school. However, this is not the case. In fact, I finished all the courses in my sophomore year, and the teacher was not there.
Teaching new things, in this case, there is no need for me to waste my time there."
"So you dropped out of school, right?"
"Yes."
Chen Zhen nodded and said.
Xu Lang looked at Chen Zhen, and Chen Zhen looked at Xu Lang, and they both fell silent.
After a moment of silence, Xu Lang suddenly asked: "Are you married?"
Chen Zhen was stunned for a moment. He was stunned by Xu Lang's sudden question. However, he quickly reacted, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Not yet. Now I think career is more important."
“Start a business first and then start a family?”
"That's right. Actually, it's a bit embarrassing to say it. After dropping out of college, I went to work in my sister-in-law's company. Our company is mainly engaged in the transportation industry. There are relatively few women we come into contact with. Even if there are, they are all married.
Women, if they don’t know women, naturally they can’t get married.”
When Chen Zhen said this, he blushed slightly. He didn't know if he was really embarrassed or if he could pretend to be.
"Is Song Jinzhong your sister-in-law?" Luo Jiayan asked at this time.
Hearing Luo Jiayan's voice, Chen Zhen shifted his gaze and looked at Luo Jiayan for the first time. With a soft smile on his face, he nodded and said, "Yes."
"According to our understanding, when you were in college, a girl once confessed her love to you, and she was a rich second generation girl. Why didn't you accept it?"
Xu Lang's hidden meaning is very clear. Since you have always wanted to get out of the countryside and live a good life, then being with Situ Yinuo is undoubtedly a good choice. Although doing so is somewhat utilitarian, if two people really
If they come together, Chen Zhen can save ten years of hard work. At least he can finish college or even graduate school with peace of mind. By this time, if the two are still together and can get married, with the support of the Situ Yinuo family
, Chen Zhen can get a lot of resources whether he works in Situ Yinuo's parents' company or starts a business.
"Oh, you're talking about Enoch, right?"
Chen Zhen was stunned again, then smiled.
"Yinuo? It seems that you are very close to her?" Xu Lang narrowed his eyes and said.
"It's not close to each other, it's just that we are classmates, and she did pursue me, so naturally she has a deep impression on her." Chen Zhen explained.
"Why didn't she be accepted there?" Xu Lang asked again.
Chen Zhen looked at Xu Lang and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Officer Xu, I know what you are thinking. Do you think that as long as I agree to be with Yi Nuo, you don't have to worry about money, right?"
?”
"Isn't it?"
Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "Although I am a rural person and I really want to become a rich man, I just want to rely on my own hands to fight hard, not on a woman. Everyone has dignity, maybe
In your opinion, the so-called dignity I am talking about is worthless, but to me, it is extremely important."
"Just because of this, you rejected her?" Xu Lang asked.
Chen Zhen nodded.
"Did you like her there?"
Chen Zhen was stunned again and frowned for the first time. However, as soon as he frowned, he quickly relaxed, lowered his head, stretched out his hand to rub his eyebrows, and said: "How can I put it, I must have a good impression."
, After all, being pursued by the opposite sex is something to be proud of, but Ino is not my type."
"What type do you like there?" Xu Lang asked.
Chen Zhen raised his head and looked at Xu Lang and asked, "This should be my personal privacy. Can I not answer you?"
"Of course, this is your freedom." Xu Lang said lightly.
"Thank you." Chen Zhen said with a smile.
"After you dropped out of school, did you still have contact with Situ Yinuo?"
"No."
"Really not?"
"Officer Xu, what do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, it's just that Situ Yinuo disappeared two years ago." Xu Lang said slowly.
"Missing? Didn't she go to study in the UK? How could she be missing..."
Hearing that Situ Yinuo was missing, Chen Zhen seemed to have heard it for the first time. He opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief and asked in surprise. However, as he spoke, he realized something and quickly shut up.
No more words.
Seeing Chen Zhen's reaction, the corners of Xu Lang's tightly pursed lips raised slightly. He looked at Chen Zhen and said, "So, you and Situ Yinuo are still in contact, right?"
Chen Zhen thought for a while, shook his head, sighed and said: "Hey... Actually, we really haven't contacted each other since I left S University. However, before I left S University, I added her on social media
A friend of the account once saw her posting that she was going to study abroad, and that’s when she found out.”
"Is that really true?"
Xu Lang looked at Chen Zhen with a half-smile.
"Officer Xu, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you suspect that Enoch was missing?"
Does the trace have anything to do with me?"
Chen Zhen seemed to have realized Xu Lang's hidden meaning at this time, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared, followed by a look of anger and dissatisfaction.
Xu Lang ignored Chen Zhen's expression and said: "According to our investigation, when Situ Yinuo was in S University, several of her best friends were not in S city, and the person she liked most was you. She
The last place you were seen before disappearing was in S City. You were also in S City at that time, right?"
"Is this how you police handle cases? Just based on these evidences, do you think Enoch's disappearance is related to me?"
Chen Zhen looked at Xu Lang angrily, his cheeks flushed slightly, and his chest began to rise and fall violently.
"Of course this is not the only evidence." Xu Lang said calmly.
"Then what evidence is there? If there is any, bring it out." Chen Zhen said, raising his voice.
"Mr. Chen, could you please show us your phone?" Luo Jiayan said at this time.
"Mobile phone? What do you need my mobile phone for?"
Chen Zhen was stunned and looked at Luo Jiayan in confusion.
However, Luo Jiayan had no intention of explaining. She just stretched out a hand and put it in front of Chen Zhen. Xu Lang and Captain Wang both looked at Chen Zhen. It seemed that if he didn't take it out himself, Xu Lang and the others might forcibly search him.
.
Chen Zhen's face became extremely ugly, but he still took out his mobile phone from his jacket pocket and handed it to Luo Jiayan.
After taking out his mobile phone, Chen Zhen no longer looked at Luo Jiayan, but stared into Xu Lang's eyes and said, "If you don't find relevant evidence, I will go to the relevant departments to complain against you."
"hehe......"
Xu Lang smiled and said, "Of course, this is your right."
"snort......"
Chen Zhen snorted coldly and stopped looking at Xu Lang, but looked at the window. Xu Lang could only see Chen Zhen's side face but not his eyes. Naturally, he didn't know what he was thinking now. However, Xu Lang still paid attention.
One detail came to mind, that is, when Luo Jiayan asked to check Chen Zhen's phone, Chen Zhen's hand that was originally placed on his knee clenched subconsciously, as if he had sensed something. This made Xu Lang more and more convinced that Situ
Yinuo's disappearance was really related to Chen Zhen. However, Chen Zhen's next actions somewhat surprised Xu Lang. He did not make excuses not to take out his mobile phone, nor did he ask Xu Lang and the others to take out a search warrant. If Chen Zhen
If they really asked for it, Xu Lang and the others would be really embarrassed and would fall into a passive situation. After all, it was indeed an accident that they met Chen Zhen here, and there was no way they could have a search warrant.
"Could it be that Situ Yinuo's disappearance really has nothing to do with Chen Zhen?" Xu Lang thought to himself.
However, Lu Xing used technical means to lock the location of Situ Yinuo's account at Changkuai Transportation Company. In other words, the person who is currently using Situ Yinuo's account is in this building and Chen Zhen did not show up.
Previously, Song Jinzhong, the boss of Changkuai Company, was the biggest suspect, and after Chen Zhen appeared, he was the biggest suspect. However, Chen Zhen's actions and reactions, although his reactions were very strong, were also normal people's reactions.
When investigating other cases in the past, this kind of situation happened from time to time, and there were even people who had stronger reactions than Chen Zhen. Chen Zhen's reaction was nothing.
Whether Chen Zhen is using Situ Yinuo's account or not, now we can only see the results from Luo Jiayan's side.
The huge office fell into silence, no one spoke anymore, there was only the clicking sound of Luo Jiayan's mobile phone tapping the screen.
While Xu Lang was waiting for Luo Jiayan's investigation results, he secretly watched Chen Zhen's every move.
Ten minutes later, Luo Jiayan stopped playing with her phone. She raised her head and looked at Xu Lang with an ugly face. She did not speak, but shook her head.
No.
This result was beyond Xu Lang's expectation. How could this be possible? How could it not be possible? Xu Lang obviously didn't believe it.
At the same time, Chen Zhen also turned his head and looked at Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan. The corners of his mouth raised slightly. The angry expression on his face had disappeared. He looked at Luo Jiayan and then at the mobile phone in her hand.
, finally, he cast his eyes on Xu Lang's face and said, "Officer Xu, what was the result? Did you feel a little disappointed?"
Xu Lang's face was gloomy, he frowned and stared at Chen Zhen's face.
After looking at it for a few seconds, Xu Lang turned his head, took the phone from Luo Jiayan's hand, and checked it himself.
There are many applications on the mobile phone. Xu Lang found a familiar social software. After clicking it, he found that the account was not Situ Yinuo's account, but a strange account. However, Xu Lang still did not give up and directly clicked to log out and see.
Are there any other accounts in the login list? In the login list, there is indeed more than just this account, there are four or five accounts. Xu Lang checked one by one and found that these accounts were not the accounts Xu Lang and the others were looking for.
.
After seeing this result, Xu Lang did not engage in other futile actions, but raised his head and looked at Chen Zhen.
When Xu Lang raised his head, he found that Chen Zhenzhen looked at him with a very strange look. His eyes showed confidence, ridicule, disdain, and a sense of victory. However, this kind of look looked at Xu Lang when he raised his head.
The moment he started to look at him, he disappeared. Xu Lang himself doubted whether he had seen it wrong.
After the two people looked at each other for a few seconds, Chen Zhen asked: "Officer Xu, since you didn't find what you were looking for, can you return the phone to me?"
Xu Lang's hand holding the phone subconsciously tightened a bit, but he still stretched out his hand and handed the phone over, and Chen Zhen also stretched out his hand to pick up the phone.
Just when Chen Zhen's hand was about to touch the phone, a vibrating sound sounded. The sound was very small, but it was so loud in the quiet room.
