"I think there is no need for him to lie to us." Liu Xiaofan responded in an uncertain tone.
Rong Jian drove seriously for a while and then asked, "Do you know what kind of person Xiao Yuran is?"
"Famous psychiatrist."
"anything else?"
"Ancheng's famous dandy brother, he likes to travel around when he is idle. But who says he has so much capital? We are just greedy." Liu Xiaofan sighed with envy on his face, and after speaking, he realized that this "we" The word was inappropriate, so he immediately changed his words, "No, no, it should be said that I am just greedy. Captain Rong, there is no need for you to envy him. You are nothing compared to him."
"Since he is a dandy, what else do you have to envy? He should be envious of us who have serious things to do. By the way, you just said that he likes traveling the most?"
"Yes. He has been to almost all the famous scenic spots in the world."
"You know him? You know him so well."
"How can I, an ordinary little detective, be qualified to know this person? They and I are not from the same world at all."
Liu Xiaofan's always belittling words made Rong Jian feel particularly uncomfortable: "Why is the little detective not qualified to know him? He is not Sherlock Holmes."
Sherlock Holmes has been his idol since he was a child. He feels that only knowing Sherlock Holmes is worthy of using words like "high climb". This playboy is nothing at all.
Liu Xiaofan knew about his admiration for Sherlock Holmes, and when he saw him mentioning his idol, he looked a little unhappy. Liu Xiaofan quickly explained with a smile: "I mean he is from the upper class, and I, a little detective, are not the same as him." Grade.”
"What doesn't belong to the upper class is just the life circle of different people. How is the life circle of our detectives not as exciting as theirs?"
Seeing Rong Jian's sincerity, Liu Xiaofan changed the subject in an interesting way: "Captain Rong, I don't really know him. I only know about him from newspaper gossip."
"Then how do you know that he has visited all the famous attractions around the world?"
"It's like this. Every time he comes back from a trip, he will hold a private exhibition of his works and share the good photos he took with everyone. You also know that I am a photography enthusiast. Because I don't have time to go out to take photos, I especially like to appreciate other people's photos. Works. Every time he holds a photography exhibition, I go to join in the fun.”
"Then you met him?"
"No! It's just that I went to attend his photography exhibition. He himself didn't attend his photography exhibition. In other words, it's just that I know them, and they don't know who I am."
"So it's not easy to meet him?"
"Yes."
"Then why is it so easy for you to see him today?"
Unexpectedly, Rong Jian would ask such a question. Liu Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, and then responded: "Today is just a coincidence. I went to check Xin Yihan's household registration information before, and found that he moved to Ancheng seven years ago, but I couldn't find it seven years ago. Ancheng, where he moved from, found it strange, so he went to check the registration information of his company, and unexpectedly discovered that Xiao Yuran was the earliest partner of Yongyi Industrial. Xiao Yuran didn't even want to manage his own company, so he came to invest in Xin Yihan's company. It didn't make sense, so I suspected that he had some special connection with Xin Yihan, so I planned to investigate Xin Yihan from Xiao Yuran. I wasn't sure if Xiao Yuran was in Ancheng, and I didn't have his contact information, so I just went to his car. I tried my luck in the psychological consultation room, but I didn’t expect that I was very lucky today, and I met him right away.”
"You asked him directly about Xin Yihan?"
"No! Hey, Captain Rong, you too
You really don't trust my ability to do things. Liu Xiaofan was a little angry, "Anyway, I've been following you for so many years." I first pretended that a relative in my family had a mental illness and wanted to consult him. It happened that his consulting room had a landscape painting signed by Xin Yihan. I used this to chat with him and said that Mr. Xin was also my friend, and then we started talking to each other. After all this nonsense, I finally lured me out of Xin Yihan’s hometown. "
"Are you sure Xin Yihan moved to Ancheng seven years ago?"
"I'm sure! One thousand percent sure! In fact, I was as suspicious as you at first, so I checked extra carefully."
Rong Jian continued to express doubts: "Then why can't we find out where he moved from seven years ago?"
"I don't know about this. I asked the household registration policeman and he said he didn't know. He said there might be a problem when entering the system. But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. Didn't I get the address of Xin Yihan's hometown from Xiao Yuran? ? It will be clear if we go and check it out?”
"Hiss"
Rong Jian took a deep breath, exhaled a long breath, and said no more.
"Captain Rong, what are you worried about?" Liu Xiaofan opened a bottle of water and handed it to Rong Jian.
Rong Jian looked at the front and took a sip from the water bottle, then handed it back to him and responded: "I always feel like something is wrong."
"Hey! Regardless of whether he is right or not, we will definitely go to Xin Yihan's hometown to check." Liu Xiaofan took out a stack of photos from his pocket and waved them in front of him, "Look, I collected all the photos of him I brought him here so that the old man and the old lady wouldn’t be able to see the pictures on their phones and check whether they recognize him.”
Rong Jian glanced at the photo and laughed for a moment.
"I didn't expect you would become more attentive after not seeing me for a few days."
"I have followed Captain Rong for so long. If I don't make any progress, I will be sorry for Captain Rong's cultivation of me."
"Okay, there's no need to flatter me, just do your work down-to-earth."
Liu Xiaofan had a smile on his face: "If you want to flatter me, you will do your job in a down-to-earth manner. Captain Rong, don't worry."
Then the two of them conducted some intermittently analysis on the reactions of Yin Xiaotian and Xin Yihan. During the analysis, the car slowly drove into Xin Yihan's hometown, Xinjiafang, Annan County, Ancheng, where Xiao Yuran said it was.
"Wow, are we in a paradise? I didn't expect that Anseong has such beautiful scenery! It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful mountains and rivers, green trees, fresh air, birds singing and flowers smelling, and chickens and dogs hearing each other. In such a place Living in the local area will definitely add ten years to your life!”
As soon as he got off the car, Liu Xiaofan stood on the side of the road with his hands spread like wings, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then said all the four-character words he could think of to describe the scenery to express his admiration.
Rong Jian ignored his pretentiousness and had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him. He parked the car and walked quickly towards the village.
"Hey! Captain Rong, wait for me!"
Liu Xiaofan opened his eyes and found that Rong Jian had walked away a long distance. He hurriedly put away his arty leisurely mind and ran to keep up.
Seeing an old man drying sweet potatoes in the first house at the entrance of the village, Rong Jian immediately went up to say hello.
The old man was not surprised when he saw a stranger coming in. He raised his head and asked with a smile: "Are you here to ask for water or to buy my sweet potatoes?"
"Do you sell sweet potatoes?" Rong Jian asked.
"Not for sale. I left this for my grandson who is studying in the city, but if you want to eat it, I can give you a few to try." The old man said as he picked up two and handed them to them, "This is What you city dwellers call natural
Please try the pollution-free food, it’s delicious. "
"Thank you, thank you." Rong Jian quickly caught it and thanked him repeatedly.
"You don't have to thank me. If I really want to say thank you, I have to express my gratitude to you people in the city."
"Oh?" Rong Jian was very surprised, "Why do you want to thank us?"
The old man stood up, pointed to the southwest, and said with a smile: "If you city dwellers don't patronize it, how can it boost the tourism economy of our village?"
After speaking, he pointed to the two-story reinforced concrete house behind him and smiled more and more. "Five or six years ago, this was a short brick house. Look at how comfortable it is now."
"What city people are you thanking? The most important person to thank is Hanzi." An old lady came out of the house with a dustpan to answer the question.
"Hanzi? Is the Hanzi you're talking about Xin Yihan?" Rong Jian answered the question very sensitively.
"Do you know Hanzi?" When the old man heard him mention Xin Yihan's name, his attitude immediately became very respectful.
"We know each other, we are friends." Liu Xiaofan immediately tried to answer, "We came here because he said the scenery here is good."
"He turned out to be Hanzi's friend! I'm really sorry, we were rude. Come in and sit down!"
The old man immediately welcomed them into the house warmly. The old lady had already said "I'm going to make tea" and ran back into the house.
Their sudden change of enthusiasm made Rong Jian and Liu Xiaofan feel uncomfortable for a moment. In order to learn more about Xin Yihan, they followed him into the house.
The living room has been simply decorated and kept very neatly. The sofa, TV, and air conditioner are also fully equipped. At first glance, it does not look like an ordinary country house.
"Old lady, go and see if there are any vegetables in the refrigerator. If there are no vegetables, go to the market and buy some! Buy the best! Buy more! I want to keep two brothers at home for lunch."
"Hey! No, no! Thank you, thank you." Unexpectedly, they were so enthusiastic. Rong Jian became more and more uncomfortable and hurriedly stepped forward to grab the old man and waved his hand.
"Hanzi's friends are our guests in Xinjiafang. You don't have to be so polite." The old man forced them to sit down. "Just leave it alone and let my old lady prepare it. My old lady's cooking skills are still good, although she is not as good as It’s not as good as the chefs in the city, but it won’t be too different. You can try it.”
Seeing that the old man sincerely invited them to have lunch, Rong Jian and Liu Xiaofan looked at each other and did not refuse. Instead, they asked the old man: "Are Xin Yihan and your family related?"
The old man responded with a smile: "The entire Xinjiafang is passed down from our ancestors. We have the same surname as Xin, so can we not be relatives? In terms of seniority, Hanzi has to call me uncle."
"Is the Hanzi you are talking about Xin Yihan?" Liu Xiaofan asked again to confirm.
"There is only one Yihan in our village, how could it not be him?"
"Hanzi's generation is Yizi generation, and Han is his name. Although our village is large, because we are all named using generation names, and we have to enter the genealogy after naming, we usually don't have the same name." The old lady Taking out a piece of beef from the refrigerator, he chimed in to explain.
"Really? Then..."
Rong Jian wanted to ask again, but Liu Xiaofan suddenly took out Xin Yihan's photo from his pocket and handed it to the old man: "Old man, look at this photo."
He didn't directly say it was Xin Yihan, for fear of misleading the old man.
"These photos...hiss" the old man took three pictures and looked at them, but didn't say anything for a while.
Rong Jian and Liu Xiaofan immediately felt that something was wrong, and they both stiffened and stared at the old man, waiting for him to make a sound.
