Chapter 20 You are the elder brother and I am the younger brother

Back in the car, Zhao Yingtong patted his thigh. He wondered whether Fan Li was really not at home or was hiding on purpose. The president of the Cat Shadow Club is now exposed to the sun. When the cat shadow comes out and meows again, he will know who to go to.

"Since we know that Fan Li is the leader of Maoying, why don't we arrest him?" a police officer asked doubtfully.

Zhao Yingtong also wanted to arrest him, but on what charge? Maoying has not been established for a long time, but even the little kids on the street know that it is an organization that supports the weak and loves the people. It has never done anything bad or hurt anyone. What's more, even the victims themselves are unwilling to come out to report the crime and want to settle the matter. They had no witnesses or evidence. Even if they arrested Fan Li, they would have to release him sooner or later.

"Silly boy, is Mao Ying something that can be solved in a short while? At the moment, our focus is Jiang Yuan."

While talking, the group returned to the police station.

Xiao Zhou, who went to Jiang Yuan's house to investigate, showed the confession he compiled to Zhao Yingtong, and got confirmation from Jiang Yuan's younger brother that Jiang Yuan did maintain a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with a girl named Wei Yingying behind his fiancée's back. Later, he took the initiative to Broke up.

The police also checked the phone numbers recorded in the notepad found from Xu Huanyan's home one by one. The number with a heart drawn on the back was the phone number of Jiang Yuan's office.

All clues pointed to Xu Huanyan, but due to lack of evidence, they still couldn't start.

In the evening, Dafeng sent a fierce general, a young man named Li Ming, who came to the police station in a panic to report the case, saying that he had seen the murderer of Jiang Yuan.

Zhao Yingtong was taken aback, doubtful, and took Li Ming to the interrogation room.

In the interrogation room, Li Ming told Zhao Yingtong that he usually sold fruit not far from the river. After dark that day, he packed his things and walked home when he suddenly heard a gunshot.

"At first I wasn't sure it was a gunshot. The more I thought about it, the more curious I became, so I slowly walked towards the shore. As I walked, I saw a man coming towards me, wearing a dark windbreaker, a small felt hat, and a long I couldn't tell what he was. He was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. He walked past me. I saw that he was mumbling and walking unsteadily. He probably didn't have a good brain. Like a psycho. I walked forward and there was no movement, so I went home."

Li Ming said that he saw in the newspaper that someone was killed on the riverside, and he was still hesitant about whether what he saw was the murderer.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Zhao Yingtong still sent police officers to search for the suspect. Even if you are looking for a needle in a haystack, you can only take one step at a time and try your luck.

On the other side, Luo Sai came to see Fan Li. With a heavy heart, he had a premonition that he would hit a wall here.

Fan Li was having dinner, so he asked Luo Sai to come with him. Auntie took some dishes and put them in front of Roselle, then went back to the kitchen with a smile.

"Brother Li, I didn't expect you usually eat so light." Luo Sai looked at the several vegetarian dishes on the table and couldn't help but feel surprised. With Fan Li's wealth, he could live a luxurious life of delicacies from the mountains and seas every day. But Fan Li is not extravagant and wasteful, and every detail of his life reveals his simplicity.

Looking around, Fan Li's room is simply furnished. The only special thing is that the walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings he collected, both ancient and contemporary. Fan Li once joked that all the money he earned was spent on calligraphy and painting.

"You think I eat a lot of meat and fish every day, so how fat am I? I am not particular about food. I have had a bad stomach since I was a child, and greasy food is not suitable for me."

They just chatted with each other, talking and laughing, and reminiscing about the past. Many years ago, Luo Sai founded the Jasmine Club, but it had a rough start, with insufficient funds and difficulty in sustaining it. Later, on the recommendation of others, I found Fan Li. At that time, Fan Li was a well-known investor in Jiangcheng. His family was very influential in Jiangcheng and had been wealthy for several generations. However, in Fan Li's generation, it was slightly declining. But Fan Li was shrewd. He expanded his influence by funding various industries, and gradually gained his own power.

It can be said that Fan Li liked this young man very much when he saw Luo Sai at the first sight. Rossay was born into a poor family, but he has outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament, and he carries a courageous spirit.

Fan Li has been introverted since he was a child, deep and melancholy, with a scholarly temperament, and the spiritual energy exuded by Luo Sai is exactly what he admires and yearns for. In life, he indeed regarded Rosé as his younger brother and took care of him like a younger brother. There is no hesitation in helping him start a club. As long as Rossay needs it, he will definitely help.

"You are much more mature and stable now." Fan Li took a bite of green vegetables and put it in the bowl, smiling slightly, his bright eyes curved into crescent moons behind the lenses.

Luo Sai lowered his head to eat, thinking about how to ask about Jiang Yuan's case, but unexpectedly, Fan Li spoke up first.

"By the way, what do you think about Jiang Yuan's case?"

Fan Li's blunt words made Luo Sai's heart skip a beat. He pretended to be calm and said , " Brother Li, I will tell you the truth in front of you. I suspect that Aunt Xu was overly sad for losing her daughter and took revenge on Jiang Yuan by killing her ." Killing. Other than that, I can’t think of anyone else who had a motive for killing.”

"It's normal for you to doubt Xu Huanyan, but the most complicated thing in this world is people. There must be other explanations for Jiang Yuan's murder. In order to prove her innocence, I have sent people to investigate. I believe there will be one soon. There are results."

"I sincerely hope that the murderer is someone else, and I don't want to see you and Aunt Xu involved."

Fan Li smiled and nodded, looking at Roselle meaningfully. Their eyes met, both eager to see understanding and trust in each other's eyes. However, they only saw themselves.

"Russell, I often stand on the shore and look at the surging river. You see it flows on its own every day. On the one hand, it benefits people, but on the other hand, it threatens people's lives. Everything has two sides, or many sides. , complete black, complete white, only exist in the palette. Sometimes when we look at the problem and try to change the angle, we may be able to suddenly understand. A few days ago, Teacher Qian, that is, the painter Qian Yuqiao, I went there. He studied calligraphy at home, and he told me a very charming passage. He said that people’s doubts come from their own inherent cognition. When you spread your mind and see everything, and break this cognition, anxiety and confusion will arise. It will be resolved.”

As he listened and thought about it, Rossay couldn't help but smile bitterly inwardly. Fan Li meant that he should not be obsessed with who is right and wrong, and should not be obsessed with right and wrong. On the surface, he was enlightening him, but in fact, he was warning him not to stare at Xu Huanyan or Jiang Yuan's case. Overtly or covertly, Fan Li didn't admit a word, but he vaguely revealed the truth.

Luo Sai looked solemn and said to Fan Li , " The murderer may have a hidden agenda and he did it as a last resort. But if he takes the lives of others at will, can he really hide it from the world? Even if he can, can he hide it from the world? His Conscience is destined to be judged.”

"You are right, people are doing it, God is watching, everything has its destiny. Let nature take its course. Since your fate has been decided, you can only calm down and watch the changes in the mountains and seas, and wait for the ebb and flow of the tide."

Fan Li was never a very optimistic person about life, and it seemed that every step he took made the sadness in his heart aggravate. Facing the upright Rossay, he wanted to explain, but he couldn't. It was life that shaped him step by step into the Fan Li he is today, and it was fate that made him make the final choice. Perhaps there is no black and white in the palette in his hand, and even if there is, it is chaotic.

When Luo Sai walked out of Fan Li's mansion, he couldn't help but look back and saw Fan Li standing at the door watching him leave. He had mixed feelings in his heart and managed to squeeze out a smile. This is the first time in many years that he has shown such weakness in front of Fan Li. Every time, no matter what he faces, he completely trusts Fan Li and supports Fan Li unconditionally. But now, he no longer has the confidence to tell himself that this big brother can be relied on. He wondered, was it that people's hearts were changing, or that he didn't see it clearly in the first place?

Walking on the road where people and figures intersected, Rosé seemed lost. He is like a child holding pocket money in his hand, wondering whether to buy popsicles or sweet twists. How to make a decision can only be made in one thought. Because of his hesitation, he once caused Zhao Yingtong to miss the best opportunity to catch the prisoner. Every time he thought of this, he regretted it.

Finally, he made it all the way to the police station and stood at the door, feeling like a traitor. He did not allow himself to betray his friends, but his reason forced him to go to Zhao Yingtong and explain all the entanglements between Xu Huanyan and Jiang Yuan.

Zhao Yingtong was so busy that he felt dizzy. After listening to Luo Sai's words, he felt hot all over. He took off his police uniform and threw it on the sofa.

"I knew it, you must know the inside story!"

He looked at Rousey's aggrieved appearance and roared , " You still say that I arrested you by mistake? I think you have a pig brain! You are more annoying and hateful than a murderer! You are hiding deep enough, watching Are you happy that I'm messing around in muddy waters? It's a heinous crime to not repay what you know!"

Luo Sai lowered his head and said nothing. He felt uncomfortable in his heart. Before confirming Jiang Yuan's identity, he couldn't bear to label Xu Huanyan and Fan Li as murderers. It's too late to say anything now. We can only try our best to help Zhao Yingtong solve the case and make up for the losses caused by his hesitation and confusion.

"Your good brother Qi Xuan has already told me about Wei Yingying. But he did not mention you. Now tell me for yourself. What is your relationship with Xu Huanyan and Fan Li?"

"Xu Huanyan knows my mother, so we have some relationship with her. Fan Li is kind to me, and I treat him as my brother."

"Brother, what a good brother. You didn't say anything because you were worried about your brother, right?" Zhao Yingtong walked up to Luo Sai and looked at him with an expression full of suspicion, as if he wanted to see through the pores on his face. See the hidden conspiracy.

"So be it." Rossay admitted.

Now, Zhao Yingtong has raised a big question mark about Luo Sai. How many ulterior things does the young owner of Jasmine Club hide in his heart?

Faced with Inspector Zhao's very unfriendly attitude, Luo Sai could only endure it. He did what he should do, and the rest was left to Zhao Yingtong.
